Growth Equity for the New Energy Industry

Lime Rock New Energy partners with entrepreneurs and management teams to bring private equity capital and value-adding partnership to growing companies across the new energy economy.

OUR APPROACH

We bring our dedicated sector focus, deep industry and sector expertise, and true partnership to help leaders in the new energy economy grow profits, operations, and market share.

Our senior investment team averages more than 20 years each of experience in energy and general investing, operations, and new energy innovation. The team is supported by an Advisory Board that includes global leaders in new energy technology, policy, and executive leadership in the transition to a low-carbon energy economy.

In partnering with entrepreneurs that are leading growing businesses, we seek to accelerate their companies’ growth with capital, strategic execution and process experience, and Lime Rock New Energy’s deep network of relationships across all facets of the new energy economy.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are exclusively focused on companies that help their customers produce or consume energy with a measurable, positive environmental impact. We are particularly focused on companies that provide products and services for:

The renewable energy industry

Energy efficiency for industry and the built environment

The electrification of transportation

Our focus is on North American companies and global companies with a commitment to the North American market.

We are focused on providing true growth capital to new energy companies—not venture capital or project finance. We seek to partner with companies that have a track record of commercial success by profitably delivering products and/or services to their customers and have a clear plan to grow revenue, profitability, and market share.

We seek to bring our experience to help companies grow. We want to partner with entrepreneurs that believe their business can gain a competitive edge with a value-adding investment partner.
