Stolt Ventures

Stolt Ventures is the corporate venture capital arm of Stolt-Nielsen, established in 2022 and based in London, UK. It invests in sustainable technologies aligned with Stolt-Nielsen's core operations in bulk-liquid logistics, distribution, and land-based aquaculture. The firm targets Series A and B companies with proven technologies and more than $1M in commercial revenues, deploying ticket sizes of $1M–$5M via primary or secondary equity or convertible debt. Stolt Ventures takes an active investor role, typically securing a board director or observer seat, and offers portfolio companies access to Stolt-Nielsen's global network of vessels, terminals, tank containers, and aquaculture assets. Primary investment sectors include maritime technologies (vessel tech, robotics, fleet management), integrated logistics (digital supply chain, smart terminals), carbon (capture, accounting, sequestration), circular economy (waste recycling, water technology), and sustainable food (aquaculture technologies, alternative proteins). The firm deploys permanent capital from Stolt-Nielsen's balance sheet rather than raising third-party funds.
