Vitality is raising $20 million for its first fund to invest in early-stage startups that apply biomimicry — nature-inspired design principles — to solve real-world problems in agriculture, materials, and infrastructure. At a time when venture capital is heavily skewed toward digital solutions, Vitality uses a nature-based filter to back pre-seed to Series A companies working on physical technologies with measurable climate and ecosystem impact.
The fund targets overlooked sectors with growing demand, like regenerative agriculture, carbon sequestration, and sustainable construction. Its “GROW, USE, BUILD” framework reflects a $4.5 trillion market opportunity across food, materials, and the built environment.
Recent pre-fund investments include TierraSphere, which uses enhanced plant-soil chemistry to turn carbon into stable rock through the oxalate-carbonate pathway; and Barn Owl Precision Agriculture, which is building autonomous nano-tractors for small farmers to adopt regenerative practices at scale. All three early investments are in women-led companies.
“We’re really looking for solutions that combine the genius of nature through biomimicry and modern tech to create billion dollar solutions to massive problems that we face today,” Vitality founder Natalya Wallin tells ImpactAlpha. “The bottom line is that it is just a smart way to solve a real problem.”
Vitality’s portfolio impact metrics include biodiversity, water retention, nitrogen and carbon levels, and reductions in pesticide and fertilizer use.
