Andrew Wordsworth, Sustainable Ventures

Sustainable Ventures works with investors, entrepreneurial managers and corporate partners to originate, build and grow businesses in the low carbon and sustainability sectors. Our current portfolio includes E-Car Club which created the UK's first crowdfunding exit in 2015 when Europcar acquired a majority stake; and Powervault which is seeking to disrupt the domestic electricity storage industry.
In 2017, the Company launched a new Sustainable Accelerator programme which will invest £800,000 into 6-8 start-ups.
The company also runs Sustainable Bridges, London's leading co-working space for start-up companies in the sector.
