Careers at Rypples

Rypples is a permanent-capital platform built by two unicorn founders on a mission to accelerate the scaling of ocean-positive solutions by re-inventing venture impact investing. In the Grey to Green transition, we need purpose-built capital solutions to actually bring innovation to scale. Unfortunately, closed-end VC funds optimize for short cycles and power law while lenders and institutional investors are out of reach for growth stage companies. That gap between venture dreamers and debt realists is called the “valley of death”. We think of it as a structural inefficiency and an opportunity to generate significant alpha. Rypples is not a fund but an operating holding company, investing out of balance sheet with the flexible mandate and founder-operator experience to support companies and drive execution excellence from early growth stage through to scale. In the last 12 months, we have already invested in 10 amazing companies across five verticals (Ocean Health, Ecosystems, Data, Maritime and Blue Foods). In ten years, Rypples will have successfully deployed $1bn into 100 ocean positive solutions and established a new capital model for scaling impactful innovation.
