➔ Description of the mission

Who We Are

Wavemaker Impact is Southeast Asia’s leading climate-tech venture builder. We co-found startups with experienced entrepreneurs to tackle the world’s biggest emission challenges. With 16 companies across 9 countries, we’re expanding into India in 2025 to build the next wave of transformative climate-tech startups.

Our Mission

To create companies that each cut 100 million metric tonnes of CO₂e and generate $100M+ in revenue.

The Process

No cohorts, no off-the-shelf ventures—just full-time Founder-in-Residence roles (4-6 months) to build from scratch.
We back you, not just an idea. A dedicated venture-building team works alongside you to ideate, validate, and launch.
You co-found and lead your own climate-tech startup.
