The firm's portfolio includes companies such as Ark Climate, Recupere Metals, and A&B Smart Materials, operating in sectors like business/productivity software, industrial supplies, and environmental services. Other notable investments include inoqo, a SaaS platform for assessing the environmental and social impact of F&B products, Parable, Absmartmaterials, and Emidat. These investments reflect TIV's commitment to supporting ventures that offer solutions across enterprise applications, food and agriculture technology, and chemicals and materials.

The team at Triple Impact Ventures comprises Markus Linder, who also serves as the co-founder and CEO of inoqo, and Nikola Lugonja, an Associate. Nikola Lugonja brings hands-on experience across the startup lifecycle, from pre-seed to Series B, and focuses on sourcing and screening investment opportunities while supporting portfolio companies.
