Past deals in Fuel Cell

Sublime Systems

Series A in 2023
Developer of a cement decarbonizing technology designed to reduce emissions and co-produce green hydrogen. The company's technology uses clean renewable energy and an electrochemical process that eliminates carbon dioxide emissions without changing the properties or chemistry of the cement, enabling builders to contribute towards the shared goal of a sustainable and renewable future.

Zap Energy

Series C in 2022
Zap Energy, Inc. is a Seattle-based company incorporated in 2017 that specializes in the design and manufacture of sheared-flow stabilized Z-Pinch fusion reactors for power plants. The company's innovative approach stabilizes plasma using sheared flows instead of traditional magnetic fields, which allows for the creation of a magnetic field through electric current. This method effectively confines and compresses the plasma, resulting in higher pressure and density. Zap Energy aims to provide a low-carbon, cost-effective, and flexible energy solution through its compact and scalable fusion reactor technology, positioning itself as a leader in the pursuit of commercially viable fusion energy.

Avalanche Energy

Seed Round in 2022
Avalanche Energy is a fusion energy startup focused on developing compact micro-fusion reactors for various applications, including distributed energy, mobility, and space propulsion. The company utilizes a unique modular reactor architecture that can be stacked to provide scalable and limitless power solutions.
