Our Work Breakthrough Energy Ventures

Investing in Innovation

BEV is an investment firm seeking to finance, launch, and scale companies that will eliminate greenhouse gas emissions throughout the global economy. Part of Breakthrough Energy’s network of investment vehicles, BEV has more than $3.5 billion in committed capital to invest in more than 110 cutting-edge companies, ranging from seed to growth stage.

Guided by the Grand Challenges, BEV invests in companies that can:

  • Create technologies with the potential to reduce greenhouse gases, at scale, by at least a half a gigaton every year
  • Attract other investors
  • Fill critical gaps in climate technology

BEV is committed to supporting entrepreneurs and companies with our unique combination of technical, operational, market, and policy expertise. Our team is made up of technical experts, operators, and entrepreneurs whose deep scientific knowledge allows them to identify technology gaps and potentially fill them.

Please note: Breakthrough Energy will never request payment in any form—such as wire transfers, cash, cryptocurrency, or other methods—to become a BEV portfolio company. If someone claiming to represent Breakthrough Energy asks for payment, it is likely a scam. Do not send any payment, and please report the scam attempt to us here.
