About Us

Climate Imperative, Economic Opportunity.

The climate crisis demands the reshaping of 150 years of development in just 30 years1. This transition will permeate every sector of the economy and require rebuilding of foundational systems like power, transportation, manufacturing, buildings, and agriculture. We believe that companies that lead this critical transformation of our economy— reshaping industries while driving decarbonization— represent an important opportunity for investors.

Our Story

“We see climate and energy as core to traditional investing. They’re the lens through which long-term value becomes visible.”
- Katie Hall, CEO & Co-Chair

Galvanize was founded by Katie Hall and Tom Steyer on this conviction: that structural change in energy, industry, and intelligence is not a niche theme, but a defining force in the 21st-century economy.

From the beginning, we built an investment platform designed to see what others might miss…

Today, Galvanize is a global asset manager investing at the intersection of energy innovation, resilience, and intelligence — with strategies across seed, venture, growth, public equities, credit, and real estate, supported by in-house experts in technology, policy, and markets.

Our edge comes from understanding how these forces connect across markets — giving us earlier insight and deeper conviction in the opportunities shaping the next economy.

"What makes Galvanize stand out is our ability to look at each problem from different angles."

We further broadened the platform with Credit and Capital Solutions, which will provide flexible capital for energy and industrial assets scaling from development into buildout.
Global Equities completed three years of investing, demonstrating the strength of our public markets strategy.

"We believe the energy transition is one of the largest, and among the least efficiently financed investment opportunities of the twenty-first century."

“The energy transition is well underway and is only set to accelerate, driven by inexorable technological trends. I am convinced that Galvanize is positioned to play a key role in bringing competitive, commercially viable solutions to market and generating long-term value.”

As the platform matured, so did our ambition. We established an interdisciplinary investment model spanning technology, policy, markets, and impact — designed to surface insights others miss and translate structural change into conviction.
We expanded across asset classes, launching Global Equities to engage public markets and Real Estate to invest in profitable decarbonization strategies. Integrated technical, impact, and market diligence became embedded across the full investment lifecycle, alongside a hands-on value creation approach built around deep partnership with management teams.
