Wavemaker Impact’s mission

Wavemaker Impact (WMi) is the first VC-backed climate tech venture builder in Southeast Asia. The Wavemaker Impact team co-founds sustainability startups with proven entrepreneurs, with the goal of reducing 10% of the global carbon budget by 2035. Every company that Wavemaker Impact builds is a ‘100x100’ company—a startup with the potential to abate 100 million metric tons of carbon and generate $100 million in recurring revenue. The founding team has previously built over 15 companies from scratch, including unicorns and an IPO, and invested more than $300 million in Asian tech companies, including 35 green-tech startups.
