STAGE
Our sweetspot is companies that have successfully proven their technologies and are just beginning to commercialize, typically in a Series A funding round.
SCALABILITY
Through an active due diligence phase, Inerjys is not only evaluating the potential company and its leadership, we are determining where and how we can help them scale.

Inerjys understands the unique risks inherent to cleantech commercialization’s ‘valley of death’, and thus provides long-term capital commitments and commercial expertise to propel companies towards sustainable profitability. Inerjys goes deeper than typical VC funds by enabling its portfolio companies to reach market validation and achieve commercial milestones.
Our team is deeply involved in the strategic plans of the companies in which we invest. We help them transform from an R&D mindset to commercially viable companies. We devote our time, expertise and leverage our network to ensure that our companies grow without relying on heavy subsidies.
Inerjys also acts as a strategic investor, providing added value beyond capital.
Commercialization Strategy
Our unique hybrid investment model focuses on building a bridge of commercialization.
We generate revenue for our portfolio companies by implementing their cost-reducing technologies into the renewable energy projects we finance, hence also reducing the pricing of overall risk.
