Energy Investments:
Through ERV and Prosemino, Pella is investing in pioneering clean tech, deep science opportunities, collaborating with some of the top academic institutions:
Energy Revolution Ventures: investing in early stage energy and clean tech
An early-stage, deep-tech venture capital firm focusing on clean energy that has a positive impact on climate, Energy Revolution Ventures is committed to accelerating the transition to a sustainable energy system.
ERV backs founders and startups at Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A that can develop and scale the technologies needed to look to avoid a climate disaster.
With a track record in ventures across energy, mining and high-tech ERV aims to bring revolutionary hard-tech to market at scale.
ERV in partnership with Prosemino delivers an incubator program for early-stage energy and clean tech startups.
This program fosters innovation by providing deep technical expertise on-site as well as leading lab and testing facilities, particularly in hydrogen and electrochemical tech.
Prosemino: accelerating revolutionary clean energy technologies for a net zero world
Prosemino is on a mission to accelerate the transition to net zero by addressing the critical barriers to moving climate tech from concept to commercial deployment at scale.
Prosemino’s two businesses are: Incubator-Venture Capital and Technology consultancy.
-
Prosemino is working closely with entrepreneurs to incubate early-stage innovation and accelerate the commercialisation of electrochemical and clean technologies, as well as energy materials.
-
Investments provide start-ups with access to hard-tech savvy capital, world-leading laboratories/facilities, industry, office space, technical expertise, mentorship and grant funding support.
Neura has developed a Smart Utility management device that integrates advanced electricity and water management into a single cloud based smart-grid platform.
-
The patented system is able to manage, monitor and control electricity and water usage on a live basis.
