Transport Capital focuses on start-ups with venture capital arm

The newly set-up venture capital arm TC Ventures will focus on start-ups offering decarbonisation and digitalisation solutions.

Singapore-based TC Ventures has already made its first two investments. It is an angel investor in Turtle a digital job marketplace founded by Isabelle Rickmers, and it has also made a seed investment in France-based Everimpact aiming to offer digital solutions to reduce carbon emissions.

Joshua Politis, Deputy Managing Partner of Transport Capital and Chief Investment Officer of TC Ventures, commented: “We believe that transportation by sea and air is at a multi-generational inflection point, with the need to decarbonise and digitalise dramatically accelerating. We have a deep commitment to sustainability, and through TC Ventures we want to take a more active role in shaping the industries we serve.”

TC Ventures said it was inviting founders around the world who are seeking to disrupt and reimagine the maritime and aviation industries to connect.
