Decarbonisation is one of the defining opportunities of the 21st century. Motion Capital backs the founders building the technologies that will make it happen.

Every economy rests on the same foundations: how it powers itself, makes things, feeds itself, moves, and ultimately how its people live. Those foundations are currently fracturing, and the old assumptions are shifting. AI and electrification are pulling on the energy system; nations are onshoring critical industry. Out of that disruption comes opportunity.

At Motion Capital, we back the founders building the foundational industries of tomorrow - companies delivering energy sovereignty, developing localised critical industries, rethinking food systems and transforming how we move and live. We support the breakthrough technologies these industries will be built on.

At our core, we invest in companies making it cheaper to save the world than destroy it. The good outcomes follow the economics. We like technologies that win on commercial merit, with decarbonisation and resilience built into the product.

Our companies are cheaper, faster to deploy and more secure, as well as better for the environment. Their adoption is driven by cost and competition, not ideology. That makes them largely indifferent to who holds office or what's fashionable.

We think that's a massive long-term opportunity, and it isn't priced in. Markets are currently treating this shift as a political or cultural bet rather than the structural one it is. The companies that will define  the next economy in energy, critical materials, food, and transport are being built right now.

We're a hands-on venture capital firm backing founders helping the world decarbonise. We're based in New Zealand - a trusted, neutral, and stable place known for its ingenuity, ambition, and leadership.

We move fast and with conviction, leading rounds and supporting founders actively. And we don't do it alone; we are working alongside a growing community of investors, entrepreneurs and experts committed to the opportunity in decarbonisation.

Let's put tomorrow in motion.
