At Limestone Capital, we are always on the lookout for visionary companies that are pushing boundaries of the experience economy, innovating, and creating solutions for a better future. Today, I am thrilled to announce our investment in Selar, the world's first fully sustainable polar expedition company.
Selar isn't just another travel business. It is the embodiment of a bold vision-one that blends technology, adventure, and a profound respect for nature. Founded by the pioneering Arctic Captain, Sophie Galvagnon, alongside experienced entrepreneurs Julia Bijaoui and Quentin Vacher, Selar is on a mission to decarbonize the cruise industry and offer a truly unique, eco-conscious exploration experience. The team's track record of success and relentless dedication to innovation is precisely why we at Limestone Capital were drawn to this opportunity.
Why Selar?
From our first discussions, it was clear that Selar represented more than just a business-it's in line with the zeitgeist and many values we share - including sustainability, innovation, and impact. The company is building a fleet of close-to-zero-emission ships, harnessing natural power from the sun and wind to navigate the most pristine, untouched corners of the Earth. Each expedition offers adventurers the chance to explore the polar regions in complete silence, with no noise or pollution, leaving nothing but footprints.
