Our Latest Partnership to Revolutionise Climate Tech with AI

Sustainable Ventures and You.com Announce Transformative Partnership to Revolutionise Climate Tech with AI.

Sustainable Ventures and You.com have joined forces to launch a groundbreaking partnership that empowers climate tech startups with cutting-edge AI tools to accelerate innovation, optimise operations, and scale impactful solutions. This exciting collaboration was announced during last month’s panel discussion, “AI – A Climate Burden or a Solution for Climate Tech?”, featuring Bryan McCann, Co-Founder and CTO of You.com, alongside Andrew Wordsworth, Co-Founder of Sustainable Ventures, and representatives from Google Cloud.

The partnership combines SV’s unparalleled ecosystem of over 800 climate tech innovators with You.com’s pioneering AI tools and resources. Together, they aim to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time: enabling startups to tackle the climate crisis, faster and more effectively, by leveraging the transformative power of AI.

A Partnership with Purpose

Speaking on the partnership, SV CEO & Co-Founder Andrew Wordsworth shared,

“We practice what we preach—AI is already making transformative changes to how we operate at SV, and we’re thrilled to bring these benefits to the 800+ companies in our network. AI offers startups a massive competitive advantage, from shortening development cycles to creating new revenue streams. This partnership allows us to unleash You.com’s incredible technology into the hands of the innovators who need it most.”

Bryan McCann of You.com echoed this sentiment, stating,

“Time is the most valuable resource for startups, especially those working on impactful climate solutions. We’ve seen how AI can save hours of work, drive productivity, and empower teams to focus on solving higher-value problems. With SV’s network and our technology, we’re confident this partnership will enable climate tech founders to grow, thrive, and deliver real impact.”

Why This Matters

The integration of AI into climate tech startups is poised to be a game-changer. During the panel, McCann highlighted the potential of AI to automate repetitive tasks, reduce operational costs, and drastically accelerate the path to market for climate solutions. For instance, Andrew Wordsworth noted that companies like Concrete 4 Change have already saved three years from their development timeline by leveraging AI tools—a shift that not only allows for faster market entry but also increases the chances of survival for climate tech startups, ultimately amplifying their long-term impact.

As McCann explained, “Our goal is to help startups adopt AI in a way that transforms how they work. Whether it’s through our AI tools, training courses, or tailored solutions, we want to enable founders to think differently, innovate faster, and focus on what really matters—solving the climate crisis.”

What Makes You.com Unique?

Unlike other AI platforms, You.com is purpose-built for businesses and enterprises, focusing on productivity, customisation, and trust. As McCann described, “We’re model-agnostic, offering flexibility and comprehensiveness that’s optimised for higher-stakes business decisions. Our success is tied to the success of our users, which is why we provide tailored tools like ARI, our advanced research assistant, and support companies in embedding AI into their core operations.”

For climate tech startups, this means access to AI tools capable of automating workflows, analysing data, and extracting insights at unprecedented speed—all tailored specifically to their needs.

A Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, the partnership signals a bold step forward for Sustainable Ventures as they aim to integrate AI across their ecosystem of founders, investors, and innovators. Wordsworth described the potential as “fundamentally game-changing,” adding, “AI is an essential tool for startups looking to stay lean, iterate faster, and deliver better solutions. By partnering with You.com, we can enable our companies to adopt AI in a way that drives real impact and keeps them ahead of the curve.”

The partnership is also a two-way street. SV’s network will provide valuable feedback to You.com, helping to refine and improve their tools for climate tech-specific use cases. As Wordsworth noted, “This collaboration is about more than just tools—it’s about creating a feedback loop that improves outcomes for everyone involved.”

Next Steps for Founders

The partnership is already creating a buzz within SV’s ecosystem. Since the panel discussion, several founders have expressed interest in adopting You.com’s AI tools, eager to explore how they can streamline operations and enhance their offerings.

As part of the collaboration, You.com and SV will offer climate tech startups exclusive access to You.com’s platform, alongside tailored workshops and training to ensure teams are equipped to make the most of these tools.

A Shared Commitment to Sustainability and Innovation

Ultimately, the partnership between Sustainable Ventures and You.com represents a shared commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the success of climate tech startups. As Wordsworth aptly put it during the panel, “Software alone won’t save the planet, but it will certainly help save it.”

With AI at their fingertips, climate tech founders now have the tools to not only survive but thrive—delivering the solutions our planet so urgently needs.
