About

Energize Capital is a leading investor in climate solutions. We seek to scale sustainable innovation through partnering with the builders and operators shaping our future.

When assessing investment opportunities, we look for asset-light, digitally enabled solutions that have the potential to usher in the new energy economy. The Energize team has deep heritage as climate investors, operators and innovators. We leverage our thematic expertise to guide our research-based investment
approach and to drive growth and scale across our portfolio after we invest. We deploy capital through both our Ventures and Endurance strategies, supporting companies at various stages of maturity by helping them scale and realize their full potential – from early commercialization to public markets.
