Superorganism, claiming to be the first VC firm focused on biodiversity, has closed its first fund at $25.9M from investors including Cisco Foundation and Andreessen Horowitz partner Jeff Jordan. The firm backs pre-seed and seed-stage companies across three categories: tech reversing extinction, climate-biodiversity intersection startups, and conservationist tools. Writing $250K-$500K checks, they've invested in 20 companies so far, including Spoor (bird monitoring AI for wind farms) and Inversa (invasive species leather goods), targeting a 35-company portfolio while donating 10% of profits to conservation efforts.
