Hi, I'm Jan Palasinski and I want to partner with founders on a mission to clean up our planet
I am a venture capital professional and a partner of Future Energy Ventures.I have been working for >10 years in Germany for the corporate venture capital arms of E.ON and RWE and previously I’ve worked in investment banks, mainly financing wind and solar farms.After working via videoconference for 2 years during the pandemic, I took my family back to our beloved Italy, because remote work is great, and doing it in the place you love, close to your dearest friends and relatives, is even better. I am currently based in Rome, the city where I’ve grown up.I’ve been active in advisory boards for the last 10 years, supporting top startups and scaleups like tado, Thermondo, Lumenaza, eSmart Systems, Nuventura, Kiwigrid, and Piclo, among others.I have seen hundreds of startups, invested in some of them, and managed several companies in the VC funds’ portfolios, where I contributed to the success of many funding rounds.I also took part several times in the European Innovation Council’s EIC Accelerator as Jury Member, providing grants and equity to European deep-tech startups.
I am currently fully focused on building an amazing portfolio of climate-tech startups at Future Energy Ventures, targeting digital-first companies from Europe, USA and Israel.
If you are a founder of a digital-first asset-light company in the energy, mobility, buildings, climate industries etc., in all cases with very high decarbonization potential, ideally in its seed or series A stages, based in Europe, North America, or Israel, please send me your pitch deck!I will make sure it’s reviewed in detail and to reply with a meaningful answer ASAP.
