2025 was a year of extremes. 90% of the companies in the Elemental portfolio saw significant changes to their expansion, hiring, or fundraising plans due to shifts in the U.S. federal landscape. For many, these changes created challenges, while others accelerated, riding the powerful tailwinds of AI and infrastructure demand. Across both, one thing was constant: the need to adapt.
We invite you to explore our 2025 Annual Report.
In it, we reflect on the stories that shaped our year, the on-the-ground strategies that kept our portfolio moving forward, and the power of combining catalytic capital with specialized coaching to help entrepreneurs meet the moment.
Philanthropy is the Catalyst
We work with influential philanthropists and foundations that are leading the way by funding innovation, new technology deployment, and broader systems change. Our donors enable Elemental to work with entrepreneurs every day to drive speed, scale, and impact for climate and communities.
In 2025, 80% of our philanthropic partners renewed or increased their support. Even in times of uncertainty, they brought conviction and a commitment to keep building. We are so thankful for their courage and trust in Elemental.
