First Imagine! is a venture capital firm set up in London in 2016, with further offices in Cyprus and Paris. It invests in what it calls AdapTech: technologies that help critical systems cope with climate stress, supply-chain disruption and geopolitical volatility. Its focus covers distributed energy and storage, water and food security, recycling and resource recovery, and Industry 5.0 areas such as robotics, automation and industrial AI. The team began by investing deal by deal in the energy transition before launching its first fund in 2022, and recorded its first exit when Moixa was acquired. It is a member firm of the BVCA.
