Kiko Ventures

Kiko Ventures is the evergreen cleantech investment arm of FTSE 250-listed IP Group plc, deploying permanent capital to support science-based, IP-rich startups from seed stage through to public markets. The firm backs companies whose core focus is improving planetary sustainability — spanning renewable energy, green hydrogen, carbon capture, sustainable materials, smart energy management, and clean mobility — with the conviction that breakthrough technology can drive the transition to a regenerative world. Unlike traditional VC funds constrained by fixed timelines and narrow mandates, Kiko's evergreen structure allows returns from exits to be recycled into new opportunities, enabling truly long-term partnerships with founders. As the partners describe it: "We've created an investment model of truly flexible capital that empowers change, rather than hindering it," backing companies that are "fundamental to the net zero transition, rather than those that are following trends."
