Superorganism launched in 2023 as the first venture capital firm focused on biodiversity and closed its first fund with $25.9 million in capital commitments from organizations including Cisco Foundation, AMB Holdings, Builders Vision and individual investors such as Jeff Jordan. The firm invests in three categories: technologies that slow or reverse extinction, startups at the climate–biodiversity intersection, and tools that enable conservationists. Superorganism provides $250,000–$500,000 checks to pre-seed and seed companies and allocates 10% of profits to future conservation efforts. Portfolio company Spoor uses computer vision to track bird movement and reduce wind-turbine impacts. Webb and co-founder Tom Quigley began building the firm in 2022 after initial angel investments focused on biodiversity.
