TSP Ventures

TSP was born out of our founders’ (Chris Smith & Mike Doswell) passion to help entrepreneurs through the critical early stages of development and a shared purpose to back companies that would improve human and planetary health.

We invest in IP-rich companies at the leading edge of climate innovation, with the potential to disrupt the status quo by delivering more sustainable, geo-secure and cheaper energy, food, water, materials, metals and chemicals.

We back companies from Seed to Series A (typically Technology Readiness Levels 4-7). We target high-impact sectors with global markets across the following core verticals: Future Power & Energy; Critical Materials; Carbon Mitigation; Food, Water & Waste; and Insurtech & Adaptation.

Our Core Belief

Enterprise, People, Earth – the belief that businesses must serve the long-term wellbeing of people and of the Earth.

Our Mission:

To discover and back world-changing, economically compelling technologies and drive them from the lab bench to commercial reality.

Our Approach:

Venture then Nurture – we give a high degree of support to our investments. We are convinced that this approach helps to turbo-charge and mitigate the risk of our investments. We provide advice, coaching and mentoring as it is needed. We form deep and lasting relationships with our founders that they value as highly as we do. When we invest in a business, we believe the advice we give must be the very best, the support we offer must come from the heart as well as the head and that helping early-stage businesses is a privilege as well as a responsibility.
