About

Keenest is a French investment platform and "club deal" community dedicated to the ecological transition. Founded in 2023 by serial entrepreneur Jérémie Sicsic and Renan Labrunie (with support from Team for the Planet's Mehdi Coly), it democratizes access to high-impact climate tech investments. Unlike a traditional VC fund, Keenest pools capital from individual and professional investors into Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to co-invest alongside top-tier VCs in startups that significantly reduce carbon emissions.
