**Energize Capital Raises $430M for Energy and Industrial Innovation Fund**
Chicago-based Energize Capital has announced the closing of its latest fund, Ventures Fund III, securing $430 million in commitments. The fund, which was oversubscribed and raised in record time, will support early-stage companies that aim to drive the next wave of energy and industrial innovation using digital and software-enabled solutions.
“This marks our fifth institutional fund and the third dedicated to our Ventures strategy, reinforcing our conviction that climate solutions aren’t just indispensable—they’re only getting started,” said John Tough, Managing Partner at Energize Capital.
Tough highlighted how the climate innovation landscape has evolved dramatically since the firm’s inception. “The reshoring of manufacturing, the digitization of industrial operations, and the rise of the circular economy are reshaping physical infrastructure—and each of these shifts depends on software to optimize performance, reduce waste, and manage complexity,” he noted.
With this latest fund, Energize Capital continues to position itself at the forefront of investing in technologies that are transforming the energy and industrial sectors toward a more sustainable and efficient future.
