About ERV
Energy Revolution Ventures (ERV) invests in transformative technology companies decarbonising the energy sector and creating a sustainable world. We are laser focused on electrochemistry, the next frontier technology accelerating this energy transition.
We are a team of experienced investors, engineers and business builders who know how to invest and scale hard technologies. In the last 18 months, we’ve invested in 7 early-stage energy technology companies globally. We leverage years of experience turning energy and battery technologies into successful, publicly traded businesses.
ERV includes both a fund and a venture builder program, Prosemino. Our fund invests globally in Seed and Series A companies across Hydrogen, Energy Storage, Carbon Capture and Advanced Materials. Prosemino is the UK’s first venture builder focused on electrochemistry, or as we like to say echem tech, providing expertise, finance and connections to early-stage founding teams to accelerate commercialisation.
