Streetlife Ventures

Streetlife Ventures invests in pre-seed and seed-stage B2B companies building core infrastructure for sustainable cities. The firm targets five crucial urban climate sectors: mobility and logistics, buildings, water and waste, energy, and adaptation. They seek companies with a beta-stage product and multiple active pilot deployments, focusing on the essential systems that enable urban resilience and sustainability.

Founded in 2022 by Sonam Velani and Laura Fox, Streetlife Ventures addresses the substantial opportunity in global urbanization and climate change. Velani brings infrastructure finance and urban policy expertise, while Fox offers operational leadership in urban mobility and strategic investment. Their combined experience underpins the firm’s focus on resilient city development, driven by the belief that a fundamental rethinking of urban environments is necessary.

The firm's portfolio companies serve cities, businesses, and residents, enhancing urban livability and sustainability. Streetlife Ventures fosters systemic change by integrating financial, social, and environmental impact. They envision building forward-looking cities that meet human and planetary needs through open entrepreneurship, actively shaping the future of urban environments.
