Early Bets: From Battery Brains to Resale Revolutions
Fund III has already energized a handful of promising startups, including:
-
Tyba – A cutting-edge platform optimizing battery software performance
-
Archive – A tech startup helping fashion brands launch and scale resale operations
-
Nira – A digital grid interconnection tool aiding energy developers in navigating utility hurdles
These companies represent a broadening landscape where software eats carbon emissions, and technology reimagines industrial systems from the inside out.
A Deep Bench of Backers
The capital surge was made possible by a diverse syndicate of new and returning limited partners, including global pensions, corporate strategics, and impact-focused family offices. New backers include Första AP-Fonden, Capricorn, Keeling Capital, Reference Capital, Keysight Technologies, and WEX Venture Capital.
Veterans from past funds also returned, including GE Vernova, CDPQ, Builders Vision, UBS, and WEC. For Builders Vision’s Scott Gerdes, the decision was clear: “Energize brings unmatched industry insights and operational muscle to help software-based energy transition companies break through and scale.”
