The energy transition and sustainability sectors are seeing unprecedented investment, with global climate tech funding set to surpass $5 trillion per year by 2030. Yet, despite this rapid growth, early-stage funding for deep tech and hardware startups remains scarce—creating a gap that venture studios like REspire are uniquely positioned to fill. As a venture studio, we don’t just invest—we build. By combining deep sector expertise, hands-on venture development, and a strong network of industrial and financial partners, we systematically create and scale early-stage companies tackling the energy transition. Since launching in April 2024, we have: • Partnered with Hurricane Innovation, A groundbreaking wave energy startup that aims to be cheaper than offshore wind. • Joined Biopharmia, a next-gen microalgae producer leveraging CO₂ from biogas for sustainable food and feed ingredients. • Launched Småkraftmegleren, a service unlocking liquidity in the small-scale hydropower market. We’re based at RE Gründerhus in Asker, a hub for sustainable innovation, and are now scaling the studio.

Vandre is a young Norwegian tech company with the ambition to impact the environmental situation by making textile brands succeed in reducing their footprint by making clothes and garments live longer. The world’s garbage piles are growing. In 2021, 40.000 tons of used fashion clothes ended up in the Atacama desert in Chile as their final destination. This is just one example of how the textile industry is not even close to being sustainable. The sports and textile industries face strict requirements and a major upheaval, when the EU is planning to introduce sustainability reporting and requirements to offer consumers repair of products in 2025. Our platform connects brands in the industry with certified repair centres and facilitates a seamless user journey with logistics and payment options. The platform is also a sought-after tool at repair centres, as it helps to make their daily operations more efficient. We have currently launched in Norway, and plan to expand to the rest of the Nordics and beyond in the future.
