Over the last 21 years, we’ve helped more than 15 energy and materials companies to develop a myriad of scientific applications – from cleaner bio-fuels, to long-lasting lithium batteries, to molecular nuclear power technology.
Our role is to guide companies through critical milestones and take them to the next level of funding. That can only happen when the venture firm you’re working with has a command of the deep science behind the idea and the street-smarts derived from building companies for over two decades.
