Funded Natural Resources startups number 620 in FundedIQ, tracked with their funding rounds, amounts, investors, industries, locations and company details. This page provides an overview of the Natural Resources startup funding landscape, along with the 100 most recently funded Natural Resources startups.

Natural Resources startups closed 617 funding rounds over the last 24 months, 368 of them in the last 12 months, and raised $14B in disclosed capital. The median disclosed round is $2.2M, with the middle half of rounds falling between $720K and $10M. Vancouver and Toronto hold the deepest concentrations of these companies.

Capital in Natural Resources favors early stage bets across Canada and the United States. The presence of specialized climate funds and industrial venture firms indicates a preference for hard tech over software. This concentration of strategic capital means a high barrier to entry for those without deep technical alignment. Success here depends on matching the specific industrial expertise of the active lead investors.

About the FundedIQ Natural Resources startup funding data

FundedIQ tracks announced startup funding rounds and organises them by company, funding date, stage, amount, industry, location and investor.

Rounds whose amount was not disclosed (24 of 617 in that period) are counted as rounds but excluded from capital totals and from the median. The most recent round on record for funded Natural Resources startups is dated Jun 2026.
