our vision

decarbonization is the next industrial revolution.

Technological advancements + decades of hard lessons are irreversibly changing the way energy and materials are produced and consumed.

It’s never been cheaper to produce clean electricity, never been faster to develop a new material, never been a better time to launch a decarbonization company. And yet the transition is still in its infancy.

Consumers and businesses want industry to become more sustainable, but they won’t sacrifice cost and performance while they wait.

Leaders of the next industrial revolution will be built to meet these realities—offering better, more efficient products without concessions.

We’re committed to supporting these pioneers of the sustainable future through the critical stages of commercialization.

Our investment thesis is simple + unwavering: commercially scalable hard tech.

We target the funding gap between the seed stage, where significant technology risk exists, and the growth stage, where investment shifts toward project financing.

We’re focused on commercial inflection.
We typically invest in Series A-C.
