Venture Highway was started as a passion to seed next-generation tech entrepreneurs building from India, for India and the world.

We're on a mission to empower the next generation of tech entrepreneurs in India, and we've been privileged to partner with some incredible founders who share our vision: Meesho, Moglix, BetterPlace, Chalo, Fam, Grip Invest, CheQ and many more.

From students to CXOs to serial entrepreneurs, we measure capability not by years of experience but by the ability to demonstrate a bold vision, deep and unique insights on the market and a strong obsession to create.

We move at the speed of startups, practising radical transparency, unlocking global networks and aligning our partnership to suit the unique needs of each founder to help them build better, and scale faster.

Putting humans before business, partnership before capital.

Discover Victoria Younes, CMP, VEMM's journey to finding the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication in virtual event platforms. 

As the Executive Events Manager at Kaiser Permanente, Victoria had navigated the sea of digital platforms, seeking something more intuitive than Zoom yet more accessible than overly complex solutions. 

And that led her to Airmeet, an experience she describes as a 'breath of fresh air' in the virtual event landscape.

At 'Beyond Training,' Victoria shared her firsthand encounter with Airmeet during a conference in 2021. 

Gone were the days of static screens and limited interaction; Airmeet's vibrant, engaging environment reignited her enthusiasm, making her feel like 'a kid in a candy store.' 

From networking tables that brought unexpected, meaningful connections to an exhibitor area that felt as close to a physical event as possible, Victoria's narrative is a testament to the transformative power of the right platform.

Victoria recounts how Airmeet's blend of ease-of-use and rich features—like gamification and interactive exhibitor booths—didn't just meet her expectations but exceeded them. This session is a must-watch for event professionals and organizations looking to capture the essence of live events in a virtual format, making every click an opportunity for engagement and every session a step towards a stronger community.

101 lives were lost in the Maui wildfires

It was the deadliest U.S. wildfire in the past century, with ~$6B worth of economic costs.

The fire temperature had reached 1,000 °F (538°C). Since it was hot enough to melt granite counters and engine blocks. Puddles of melted aluminium have been seen underneath burned-out vehicles.

A sustained 1.5°C temperature increase from pre-industrial levels, staggering economic losses worth $300B+ in 2021, larger than the GDP of ~80% of countries like New Zealand, Portugal, Qatar etc. and the increasing frequency and severity of climate disasters, costing over $1B, underscore the urgent need for proactive measures to mitigate climate risks.

Analysis by the ILO suggests that continued global warming leading to heat stress could result in losses of 2%+ of total working time by 2030, the equivalent of 80 million full-time jobs.

Regulators worldwide are pushing for greater transparency and accountability in environmental reporting, with a focus on carbon accounting and the growing demand for carbon credits to offset environmental impact. Organizations globally are incorporating climate risk as a core tenet of their enterprise risk management framework.

In a world grappling with the escalating impacts of climate change, ClimateTech startups present a promising avenue for driving innovation and sustainability.
ClimateTech startups are at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to address climate challenges, offering mitigation strategies, transition pathways, and sustainable technologies to combat climate change and build a more resilient future.

Indian startups have a unique opportunity to carve out a niche in the burgeoning ClimateTech sector. By leveraging local expertise, fostering innovation, and embracing sustainability principles, Indian startups can position themselves as key players in the global fight against climate change.

Through our ClimateTech thesis (https://lnkd.in/g7X-kkD5), we want to share our investment framework on the ClimateTech startups and offer our perspective of what we believe are important elements to build ClimateTech “enterprises”.
