Background

Georgina Fleming is a London-based climate-tech investor and entrepreneur. She holds a BA in Psychology and Spanish from Boston University and an MBA from the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School (2014–2015). Before moving into venture capital, she worked as an investment manager at a leading family office in Southeast Asia and at a London-based credit fund financing physical commodity trading. She also gained hands-on operating experience as the founder of an agribusiness firm and helped set up the Rwanda Water Resource Board, a mandate that reported to the country's Prime Minister's Office. This Rwandan agriculture/water-resources work is the most likely origin of her association with the H2O Venture Partners (h2ovp.com) domain — an Oxford-based impact firm that builds smallholder agribusinesses in Rwanda — although she does not appear on H2O's current published team page.

Fleming spent the core of her VC career at Systemiq Capital, a London-based venture firm backing early-stage climate entrepreneurs. She joined the wider Systemiq organization around 2017 (Director at Systemiq Ltd, ~2017–2019), then became a partner/Investment Director at Systemiq Capital (roughly 2019–2023), where she led or co-led a number of Fund I investments. She has continued her relationship with the firm as a Venture Partner. As an investor she framed her theme around enabling low-carbon systems, noting for example that "traceability and digitisation are key to facilitating ethical and low-carbon sourcing and production."

More recently, Fleming founded and now leads Semata.ai (also referenced as Kupa) as Founder & CEO, a climate/carbon-focused venture. Alongside this she is a Senior Advisor and angel investor to BlueLayer, a European software platform ("operating system") for carbon project developers. Outside her investing work, she is the founder and UK & USA Country Manager of ZOF Africa, a volunteer-run charity providing digital-technology education to low-income students in Zimbabwe, reflecting her paternal family's Zimbabwean roots.

Investment Thesis & Focus

  • Invests at pre-seed / seed / early stage in climate technology — spanning carbon markets and MRV (monitoring, reporting, verification), decarbonization, sustainability and supply-chain traceability, clean mobility, and agriculture/natural resources.
  • Backs founder-led companies solving systemic climate and resource problems with commercially disciplined models; her Systemiq Capital work centered on backing "early-stage climate entrepreneurs to accelerate their growth and impact."
  • Values traceability and digitisation of physical value chains as levers for ethical, low-carbon sourcing and production (stated in the context of the Circulor investment).
  • Brings an operator's lens from having founded an agribusiness and stood up a government water-resources body in Rwanda, plus finance depth from family-office investing and commodity-trade credit.
  • As an angel/advisor (e.g., BlueLayer), she tends to support early-stage climate software teams pre-seed, often alongside institutional leads.
