OUR SERVICES

STRATEGIC ADVICE

A growing business needs a clear strategy — and a robust business plan to attract capital, partners, and customers. We work with leading growth companies, and major industrial players, around new energy and infrastructure business models to articulate a clear vision supported by a thoughtful, detailed business plan.

CAPITAL

Capital is the lifeblood of a growing business. But investment is more than money. It is access to markets and customers, help with product design and development, support for new initiatives. We find investors — who bring much more than money.

PARTNERS

Growing businesses need partners — for investment, product development, and expansion to new markets. We have a broad network of corporate, institutional, and investor relationships — to deliver a range of partnership solutions from joint ventures to M&A.

Our Focus: Beyond the Energy Transition

Energy supply, production, and distribution are being transformed by the rapid diffusion of new technologies from large scale storage and highly efficient solar to software-driven intelligent buildings. Mobility is being transformed by electric vehcles and an expanding interconnected ecosystem of distributed energy production and storage. New business models are being created which transform and disrupt the existing energy and infrastructure value chain.
