Powerhouse

Our purpose is to address the climate crisis with innovation.

Powerhouse is an innovation firm and venture fund, helping corporations find and engage with cutting-edge startups and investing early-stage capital to change the way we power our world:

INNOVATION FIRM

Our innovation firm works with leading global corporations to help them find, partner with, invest in, and acquire the most innovative startups in clean energy, mobility, and climate. Our clients include Schneider Electric, Enel, Marubeni Power, DNV, Google, and more.

Instead of focusing on cohorts of startups, our innovation firm works with thousands of startups in our database, informed by hundreds of conversations with founders every year—and partners with some of the biggest companies in the world to drive climate innovation. From seed to late-stage, our firm engages with both hardware and software startups across continents and sectors within clean energy and mobility. Our work results in fast and meaningful outcomes for partners, from customer contracts to investments.

VENTURE FUND

Our fund, Powerhouse Ventures, backs seed-stage startups building innovative software to change the way we power our world and harnesses our network to support founding teams. We believe that addressing the climate crisis requires deploying our most viable market-based solutions today. We’ve invested in some of the most innovative climate tech startups in our industry—our portfolio companies are catalyzing a decarbonized, democratized, and digitized energy and mobility future.

We operate in a fundamentally different way than other venture funds. Our structure, network, and brand makes us uniquely qualified to source, evaluate, and support seed-stage, clean energy and mobility startups.
