Thinking about how ESG fits into your business?? Give Luci a call!

ESG-Singularity in 2025? One of my wildest predictions for 2025 is that this will be the year we reach ESG singularity. As we all know, ESG singularity is defined as when the number of ESG-reporting platforms/software finally overtakes the total number of companies in the EU. My original prediction was that we would reach ESG-singularity by 2030. However, given that in 2024 alone, I have seen at least 10,000 different startups pitch ESG platforms and that I only see a fraction of the ESG deal flow, I think it's fair to assume we will reach ESG singularity (32 million ESG platforms) as early as next year.

My recent posts (very rare ones, my bad) are in the ESG universe, and below is the reason why. With a portfolio of 450+ startups majority of which are pre-seed/seed stage, I feel like they are at times facing some unnecessary pressure from regulators and some VCs being pushed towards their impact assessments, protocols, policies, CO2 footprint scoping, you name it. The truth is that there are two major things that we can do for them to face this ESG reality: 1) lead by example, and 2) teach them (that's what accelerators do, isn't it?) and build awareness, nourish culture, and prepare them for the future rounds investors and regulators, who will at some point expect accountability from them. In the report, you’ll find various aspects of ESG and insights into how our startups perceive the risks. Overall, it appears that social aspects are the most viable for early-stage startups and cyber security is among the major issues. I stand with them in this opinion, but please convince me otherwise, if you have your take on it. I hope this piece resonates with those navigating the ESG landscape.
