Where solutions start

The climate adaptation market is currently undervalued—but soon, participation won’t be optional.

Investing ahead of this shift will create asymmetric returns.

Lilypad was founded to address the urgent need for climate adaptation solutions as the environmental crisis escalates. With federal funding still tied to outdated industries and the market slow to price in these risks, we focus on investing in innovative technologies that will be essential for survival—such as heat-resistant materials, advanced water infrastructure, and distributed energy systems. Our mission is to support founders building these critical solutions now, ahead of the market shift, to drive both impact and returns in a rapidly evolving landscape.
