24 months of runway secured
Startup & Tech
Energy Tech
Generation, storage, and grid businesses with infrastructure-scale capital needs and policy-linked returns.
Energy businesses are capital-intensive in a way software is not. Projects need balance-sheet funding long before they produce cash, returns depend on tariffs and policy that move with the political cycle, and the natural investors are infrastructure and climate funds rather than generalist venture.
The consequence is that blended capital is the norm, not the exception. Concessional and climate finance, government schemes, project debt, and equity each fund a different part of the same asset, and the structure determines whether the equity story works at all.
We help energy founders build the project-finance and blended-capital structures the sector runs on, and the reporting discipline that keeps development-finance and climate investors comfortable through a long build.
How we work in Energy Tech
What the engagement usually looks like
Blended and project capital
Structure concessional finance, climate funds, project debt, and equity into one stack rather than raising them in sequence.
Policy and tariff modelling
Model returns against the incentive regimes and tariff structures that actually determine them.
Infrastructure-grade reporting
The covenant tracking and reporting cadence that development finance and climate capital require.
