Clean Energy Venture Fund

Clean Energy Venture Fund invests in companies commercialising advanced energy technologies and new business models, which the site refers to as Clean Energy Ventures. Its leaders have invested in early-stage climate technology for over fifteen years together.

• Technical due diligence: a team of trained physicists and engineers tests whether each technology works.
• Hands-on support: help with co-developing patents, hiring talent and strategic marketing.
