Capital Nature focuses on early-stage companies (pre-seed to Series A). They prioritise start ups. The firm invests in companies at the idea or patent stage, providing initial capital for concept validation and intellectual property development. They also target ventures at the prototype stage, where companies have moved beyond theoretical frameworks to develop tangible proof-of-concept solutions.
Capital Nature primarily operates in Israel, with its geographic scope centered on the Israeli innovation ecosystem and supporting local ventures. The firm maintains offices in Tel Aviv and Arava, Israel, as well as an international office in London, UK, extending its presence into both local and international markets.
The firm requires companies to demonstrate innovative technologies that address major global climate challenges, with a particular emphasis on solutions that can improve daily lives while reducing environmental impact. Geographic proximity appears to be a consideration, as they leverage strategic partnerships within the local Israeli ecosystem and beyond to create synergies for their portfolio companies.
The firm's assessment approach appears to be comprehensive, leveraging their multidisciplinary team. They utilise the expertise and ecosystems of their shareholders, including major companies like Elbit, Refael, Direct Insurance, and Consensus Business Group, to evaluate and support their investments

Capital Nature is a leading force in early-stage climate technology ventures, dedicated to delivering measurable environmental and economic benefits through strategic investments in green energy and smart transportation solutions. Led by CEO Anat Tsour Segal, the Tel Aviv-based venture capital firm has achieved extraordinary financial returns, transforming an initial investment of approximately NIS 6 million into roughly NIS 500 million within seven years. This remarkable success stems from strategic investments in companies like Electreon, which received $900,000 in 2015 and developed revolutionary wireless electrification systems for electric transportation, and Augwind, which received $750,000 in late 2012 and pioneered compressed air energy storage solutions.
Capital Nature's portfolio consists of 14 companies at different stages of maturity, with five companies, Electreon, Blade Ranger, Zooz, Augwind, and Trucknet, successfully listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. These companies collectively address critical climate challenges through breakthrough innovations in wireless electric vehicle charging, autonomous solar panel cleaning systems, kinetic energy storage for EV charging, compressed air energy storage, and cloud-based transport optimisation. The firm's strategic approach of accompanying enterprises through pivots and adaptations has enabled portfolio companies to evolve their technologies to meet changing market demands, positioning Capital Nature as a catalyst for scaling innovative climate technologies that contribute to global decarbonisation efforts.
Capital Nature actively builds Israel's climate technology community through CEO and Managing Partner Ofir Gomeh's leadership role as Chairman of the Cleantech Sector Public Board at the Israel Export Institute. The firm demonstrates its ecosystem commitment through participation in major industry events like the Climate Solutions Prize, where it provided a flagship $1 million equity investment to Filo Systems.
Under Gomeh's leadership, Capital Nature extends its impact beyond traditional venture capital by actively participating in Israel's startup ecosystem, focusing on expanding Israel's climate technology exports and leveraging defense sector technologies for climate applications. The firm maintains strategic community partnerships with infrastructure bodies including the Israel Electric Company and Mekorot water company. This community-focused approach positions Capital Nature as both an investment platform and a bridge for international entities seeking access to Israeli cleantech innovations.
