Activate Capital is a growth-stage venture capital firm investing in the sustainable, resilient transformation of the global economy. Our strategy centers on the belief that large-scale, climate and technology-driven shifts are underway, transforming how we power, produce, and move economic activity. We believe that this sustainability supercycle is contributing to the widespread disruption of global economic systems and represents a generational investment opportunity to rebuild core systems and infrastructure over the coming decades. Activate partners with technology companies at their inflection point, led by exceptional entrepreneurs with ambitions to build category-defining platforms of the future. Founded in 2017, Activate is led by general partners with over 100 years of combined experience investing and operating in energy and infrastructure technology companies. Over this time, the team has invested more than $1.5 billion into some of the leading companies in their sector: Tesla (TSLA), SolarCity (SCTY), SpaceX, Generate Capital, Stem (STEM), Ping Identity (PING), TPI Composites (TPIC), EnerNOC (ENOC), Capstone Turbine (CPST) and AquaVenture (WAAS).
