Key people at The Voyager Company.
Voyager (voyagervc.com) is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in climate technology companies to accelerate the global transition to a decarbonized economy.[2][5] Its mission centers on backing founders developing superior, cost-effective technologies in mobility, energy, materials, the built environment, analytics, and carbon management that outperform fossil fuel alternatives.[2][5] With a $100M fund, Voyager targets pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds with check sizes from $500K to $10M, focusing on the USA, Canada, and Europe.[5] Key sectors include climate tech, food & ag, and related areas like energy storage and industrial decarbonization, contributing to the startup ecosystem by providing hands-on support from partners with deep climate expertise.[2][7]
The firm humanizes its approach through partners like Sarah Sclarsic (Getaround co-founder) and Sierra Peterson, who bring 28 years of combined experience in climate tech, policy (e.g., Obama White House), and investing in over 25 companies.[2]
Voyager was founded around 2021 by Sarah Sclarsic and Sierra Peterson in San Francisco, building on their individual investments in climate tech since 2015.[2][5][6] Sclarsic co-founded Getaround (a mobility platform valued near $2B), while Peterson shaped climate policy at the International Energy Agency and White House Office of Energy and Climate Change.[2] The idea emerged from recognizing a trillion-dollar market in climate tech, fueled by advances in materials science, computing, and biotech, enabling founders to create billion-dollar companies overtaking incumbents.[2] Early traction includes a closed fund by May 2023 and another by Feb 2022, with a new fund in market since Sep 2024; portfolio wins like Photara (solar tech) and Powerline (AI energy optimization) highlight pivotal partnerships.[6][7]
(Note: Distinct from Voyager Technologies, a 2019-founded defense/space company that went public in June 2025, or Voyager Capital, a PNW-focused VC in AI and ag.[1][3][4])
Voyager rides the global carbon transition trend, where climate tech creates new trillion-dollar markets in energy, mobility, and materials amid rising business, consumer, and government demand.[2] Timing is ideal post-foundational R&D breakthroughs in computing and biotech, enabling swift incumbent disruption.[2] Market forces like policy incentives, emissions regulations, and scalable tech (e.g., second-life EV batteries, efficient heat pumps) favor its portfolio.[2][7] It influences the ecosystem by funding high-impact startups, fostering a generation of climate-motivated founders, and bridging policy-tech gaps for faster decarbonization.[2][5]
Voyager is poised to scale with its Sep 2024 fundraise, targeting more pre-seed climate leaders amid intensifying net-zero mandates and AI-energy synergies.[6] Trends like AI-optimized assets and cheap renewables will amplify portfolio growth, potentially yielding more unicorns as governments prioritize livable futures.[2][7] Its influence may evolve into a climate VC benchmark, expanding networks to rival larger funds while maintaining founder intimacy—cementing its role in building the decarbonized economy's foundation.[2]
