The entrepreneurs we support strive for holistic value creation along the Triple Top Line of economic wealth, environmental prosperity, and social equity: they create solutions that enhance the well-being of nature and societies while generating economic value.

At Novaterra, our fundamental belief is that the most significant innovations arise from backing brilliant individuals tackling formidable problems. Hence, our mission is not to fund businesses, but to invest in intellectual capital: minds capable of solving substantial challenges, those that hold the potential to revolutionize industries and positively impact society at large. Identifying potential transformative leaders is at the core of our strategy, this is why we consider ourselves people investors. We employ a comprehensive evaluation process, made up of a proprietary framework that focuses on the traits of the founders, their tenacity, and their ultimate vision. We learned the hard way that the best founders are those who have a messianic attitude and even believe their venture is fundamental to the world, we discovered on our skin that usually the most successful overcame tough challenges and therefore developed a strong resilience in their past, and they see their company as a revenge to prove to themselves that they are worth it. The more they feel defeated, the heavier they push and the more they are resilient. We want to back the darest, those who have a natural inclination to fail, to take risks, to push the level higher and higher even despite the reality they are forced to face, and the only reason they are doing it is because they feel they have to. Nothing more. For these reasons, our investment mandate allows us to directly invest in people, even before there is a concrete idea.
