Third Sphere

Urban Us is the leading early stage investor for startups upgrading cities for climate change. We're focused on sectors like real estate, public safety, transport, logistics, water, energy, waste, air quality, construction, architecture, internet connectivity and local government. We manage a seed and post seed stage fund. We also organize URBAN-X with BMW/MINI for pre-seed startups. We connect founders with a network of over 2,000 investors, founders and advisors focused on the intersection of startups and cities. Before Urban Us, our team invested in leading startups at the seed and growth stage. We've built and sold multiple tech companies and worked on recycling, renewable energy, building efficiency, water infrastructure and municipal finance. We teach at the University of Chicago Booth School and have grad degrees from MIT, Harvard and Georgetown.
