CTF II targets early-stage companies (primarily Series A and B, open to seed-stage introductions) in the US and Canada applying climate technology and AI to real assets, energy infrastructure, real estate, and natural resources, across three areas:
Climate Intelligence (data and analytics for carbon markets and emissions reporting), Sustainable Cities (built environment decarbonization: HVAC, materials, efficiency), and Clean Power (renewable energy development and demand-side electrification).
MMV's other fund targets Enterprise SaaS, Fintech, Cybersecurity, and HealthTech, led separately by Managing Partners Eric Emmons and Mark Goodman.

What the fund looks for in founders and which sectors it backs.
Climate Technology Fund II (CTF II) is a $150M vehicle, bringing MMV's total climate-focused commitment to $300M across two funds since Fund I launched in 2023. Fund I backed 16 companies across clean power, energy systems, digital infrastructure, and climate adaptation.
Initial checks run roughly $2M–$5M, with a target pace of 4–6 new investments per year and significant reserves for follow-on. MassMutual itself is CTF II's sole limited partner, a captive corporate venture structure, not an independently raised fund with outside LPs.
MMV as a firm was founded in 2014 and has raised funds beyond climate as well, including a $300M fund in 2022 focused on Asia and Europe.
