Hampus Jakobsson

Hampus Jakobsson is General Partner at Pale Blue Dot, an early-stage venture capital firm focused on climate technology. Pale Blue Dot backs founders building solutions to the climate crisis, with a thesis centered on identifying and supporting the most promising companies working to reduce emissions and restore planetary health.

On The Grove podcast by Earth Onward, Hampus joined host for what became the longest episode in the show's history, a conversation that ranged across climate tech investing, how Pale Blue Dot evaluates opportunities, and what guides their decision-making when selecting companies to back. The discussion went beyond investment strategy, moving into territory that the host described as deeply resonant: what it means to show up as a full human being in your work, and how to get out of your own way in pursuit of something meaningful. Hampus brought a perspective that was at once analytical and genuinely reflective, making the episode stand out as much for its personal honesty as for its insight into the world of climate venture capital.
