ERIH Ventures, an ERIH & The Company subsidiary, is an active venture investor committed to backing world class entrepreneurs seeking to change industries through innovation, creativity and the promotion of environmentally sustainable products and services. At ERIH Ventures, we partner with and invest in top-tier management teams who are reinventing how people buy, sell and use “resource innovations” – the next wave of cost-advantaged, sustainable solutions for the world’s ever-growing demand for energy, water and other key resources. In a market economy, solving a big problem generates a big reward. We aggressively seek out the most disruptive ideas to solve the biggest problems of the 21st century: climate change and resource scarcity. We are not afraid of early-stage cleantech investing, in fact, we believe the most attractive investment opportunities are early-stage. However, to do a deep dive on hundreds of ideas to select the most promising ventures requires extensive resources. By leveraging our unique supporter “The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey” (TUBITAK), the leading agency for management, funding and conduct of research in Turkey, we are able to comprehensively review tens of early-stage cleantech ventures to select game-changing ideas with lowest risk, highest reward profile. As a result these reviews, ERIH Ventures’ Platforms will fund the most promising of these ventures to develop a highly focused plan that wrings out the risks and positions the company for global market success.
