Earth FoundryCheck size: Earth Foundry does not publish a standard check-size range on its current official website.
Bill Lese contributes to Earth Foundry's published strategy: Back early-stage founders commercializing hard-to-build technologies across energy, water, waste, mobility and agriculture.
The firm's public strategy favors founders and companies closely aligned with Climate Tech, Energy, Water at Pre-Seed and Seed stages. No separate personal preference is claimed without first-party evidence.
No person-specific pass list is public. Opportunities outside Earth Foundry's stated stages, sectors or geographic mandate are less likely to fit the published strategy.
Show clear fit with Earth Foundry's Pre-Seed/Seed mandate, explain the problem and defensibility, provide evidence of traction appropriate to the stage, and state the financing need and use of funds.
