Project Summary (Excerpt)
Electro Ventures is an entrepreneur-led venture holdings company advancing sustainable innovation! We believe now is the best time to be investing in clean tech to help Australia’s energy transition towards net zero emissions.
We already have a diverse portfolio of market-leading sustainable ecosystem companies that we have either founded and grown from the ground up or invested in at an early stage. We are now focused on finding, nurturing, and growing other complementary sustainability innovation companies that are solving real-world renewable energy and electric mobility problems.
Unlike conventional VC funds, we don’t charge any management or performance fees, as we are investing in parallel with you, sharing the risks and rewards with you. We are also currently ESIC (Early Stage Innovation Company) eligible, so you will get the 20% tax offset and zero capital gains for holding between 1-10 years if you are an eligible ESIC investor.
Project description
The problem is clear, we need to reduce our dependency on fossil fuels and the transition to renewable energy is not happening quickly enough. Governments are pouring billions of dollars into renewable technologies and consumers are adopting them at scale, but the transition still isn’t happening fast enough to meet targets.
That’s why Electro Ventures is focused on building a portfolio of sustainable innovation focused companies. We aim to accelerate the transition to renewable energy by developing new technologies and fostering businesses that solve the real-world challenges of renewable energy and electrified mobility adoption.
