Clean Investment

Funding the transition has never been more critical, more strategic, or more far-reaching.

Decarbonisation is driving a significant shift in capital toward venture, private equity and dedicated climate funds. As regulations tighten and net-zero commitments multiply, investors must balance rigorous financial returns with verifiable environmental impact.

We help funds, platforms and portfolio companies secure the talent that bridges finance and climate tech. Our candidates combine strong analytical skills, deep sector knowledge and proven execution, whether structuring clean-energy deals, integrating ESG frameworks or scaling low-carbon solutions, to ensure your investments deliver both growth and real-world decarbonisation.

With an extensive network in climate tech and a rigorous screening process, we quickly pinpoint professionals who not only meet your technical requirements but also fit your firm’s culture and strategic goals.

Venture Capital

Record levels of early-stage capital are fueling breakthroughs in decarbonisation, circular-economy and carbon-removal but real impact requires more than funding alone. Through our VC practice, we place platform leaders, technical-diligence experts and board advisors whose climate, engineering and product acumen empower founders to assess risk intelligently and scale high-impact innovations with speed and integrity.

Private Equity

Scaling proven clean technologies, asset platforms and infrastructure solutions demands leaders skilled in operational value creation, ESG integration and digital expansion. Brightsmith connects PE firms and their portfolio companies with professionals who balance financial discipline and sector credibility to navigate transition risk, stakeholder pressure and long-term value creation.

Climate & Impact Funds

As climate and impact funds expand across asset classes and geographies, proving measurable outcomes and maintaining high-integrity processes become essential. Brightsmith builds diverse, interdisciplinary teams, from portfolio management and impact measurement to natural-capital investing and policy strategy, that deliver resilient returns while embedding DE&I and mission alignment at every level. Our rigorous talent assessment and deep industry network ensure you secure the right leaders to navigate complexity, scale innovations, and maximize both financial and environmental impact.
