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

Galvanize was built from the ground up to invest in the 21st century economy.

We deploy capital across seed, venture, growth, public equities, credit and real estate, supported by in-house experts in technology, policy, and markets.

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