Katya Akulinicheva, SYSTEMIQ

clock • 1 min read

SYSTEMIQ is a new kind of enterprise designed specifically to tackle system failures by mobilising talent and capital to cultivate, incubate and scale solutions that accelerate system change and deliver improved economic, environmental and social value.

We identify and originate opportunities in energy, food & land use, the circular economy and the built environment.

SYSTEMIQ raised $20m earlier this year and is looking to double that over the next six months. The objective is to deploy that capital over the next three years into innovative early stage ventures with system change potential in our focus areas.

We have not made any investments yet as we only raised funds this year, but we have an active pipeline and are looking to close our first investment in the next few months.
