Corridor footprint

Pale Blue Dot’s first disclosed Portuguese position is Pollen, S.A., the Lisbon company building automated battery-swap stations and a universal battery pack for electric two-wheelers. The round was co-led with Lisbon-based Mustard Seed MAZE, with Kfund, Bynd Venture Capital, Masia and 4P Capital participating.

The fund invests across Europe and the US at seed stage and is among the most active dedicated climate funds in the Nordics.

Why this matters

Nordic seed capital showing up in Lisbon cap tables — co-leading alongside Portuguese funds — is the venture layer of the corridor this directory tracks. For Portuguese climate founders, Pale Blue Dot is now a proven door to knock on.
