About Energize

Energize partners with innovators to build what’s next. We capitalize the digitization and decarbonization of critical industries.

Energize Capital invests in solutions to advance the energy transition. We partner with entrepreneurs and operators to build what’s next in critical industries, like critical infrastructure, energy, industrial technology, construction, manufacturing, and more. We support companies at various stages of maturity by helping them scale and realize their full potential, from early commercialization to profitable scale. Established in 2017 with founding investor and long-term partner Invenergy, Energize deploys capital through two distinct investment strategies: Ventures, our earlier-stage platform, and Endurance, our private equity platform.

At Energize, we are committed to creating a workplace that fosters, cultivates, and preserves inclusion and belonging. Human capital is our most valuable asset, and we recognize that a variety of perspectives and experiences strengthens both our internal team and the companies we support. We are deliberate in fostering an environment where different viewpoints are valued and ensuring that our hiring practices reflect a broad range of backgrounds. This commitment extends to our portfolio, where we seek founders and teams who bring unique insights and innovative solutions. By embracing a wide spectrum of experiences, we believe we can better tackle challenges and create lasting impact.
