Abe Yokell

Co-Founder and Managing Partner, Congruent Ventures

About

Abe Yokell co-founded Congruent Ventures specifically to fill the early-stage capital gap in climate tech after the cleantech winter, when almost no institutional money was serving Seed/early A climate founders, informed by over a decade of seeing deal flow at RockPort Capital. He's widely regarded as a cleantech venture OG who stayed in the sector when it was deeply out of favor, continuing to invest through the post-2008 cleantech bust while many funds and investors exited the category, guided by a personal North Star of climate impact alongside returns.
