Founders bring deep ties from Riverstone Private Equity, Alyeska Investment Group, and other energy/infrastructure institutions. - **Growth Signals**: - Employees grew **+6.2% YoY** to 14 people (as of mid‑2025) with **10 active job postings** (+25% quarterly). - Actively seeking new investments and spinning up multiple stealth companies. - Strong annual LinkedIn follower growth **+213.5%** (4,496 followers). ## Competitive Advantages - **Deep domain expertise**: Founders have 20+ years in energy investing, capital markets, and climate tech (Riverstone, Alyeska, ClearTrace, HGP Storage). - **Integrated venture‑studio model**: Combines capital with hands‑on company‑building, reducing time‑to‑market for founders. - **Focus on the Electron Economy**: Captures the generational shift to electrified, intelligent infrastructure — a thesis that spans energy, AI, and industry. - **Strategic partnerships**: Co‑develops with notable names (e.g., Martha Stewart for AI home intelligence) and leverages capital‑markets experience for structuring innovative deals. ## Strategic Focus - **Electron Economy as core thesis**: Investing across the full stack — from energy generation/storage to AI‑enabled industrial software. - **Scaling the venture portfolio**: Targeting Series A and B software and AI companies; meanwhile the studio will continue launching ventures in high‑conviction white spaces. - **Expanding team**: Hiring for critical leadership and technical roles across stealth portfolio companies (e.g., Head of Infrastructure, Head of Inference, Founding Engineers). - **Sustainability & resilience**: Emphasis on energy abundance, adaptability, and resource efficiency. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Hands‑on, founder‑focused environment where team members work directly with experienced operators and investors. Described as a “trustworthy springboard” for building durable companies. - **Remote / hybrid / office**: Offers remote, hybrid, and in‑office roles; the HQ is in New York City (66 Hudson Boulevard). - **Notable perks / engineering culture**: Opportunities to become a co‑founder or early executive at a stealth venture backed by deep industry expertise. Strong emphasis on technical depth (AI, infrastructure, energy systems) and ownership. - **Growth trajectory**: Small, growing team (14 employees) with clear expansion plans — allows for outsized impact and career development. ## Sources 1.
