Energy + Data + Innovation

Solving the next decade's energy challenges will be enabled by data and innovation. Grids are integrating dynamic renewables and distributed energy resources, buildings are answering to rising electricity prices, industrial operations are refactoring to optimize efficiency, and data science is lowering the costs to source critical minerals. We back the founders building the intelligence layer between energy supply and demand.

Energy

Real assets. Real megawatts.

Grids, buildings, storage, mobility, industrial heat, water, critical minerals — the physical substrate of the energy transition.

Data

Signal from noise.

Real-time data — load, pricing, weather, telemetry, financial — and the platforms that turn streams into decisions in milliseconds.

Innovation

Software, applied.

Machine learning and optimization deployed on large data sets with proprietary and/or protected connections to the physical world.

Approach
