Energy Tech Startups

In this episode, we sit down with Neal, partner at Houston-based Energy Transition Ventures, to unpack his journey as a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist with one of the strongest seed-stage track records in cleantech. Neal shares how Energy Transition Ventures came together, why he prefers “energy transition” over “clean tech,” and what kinds of founders and deals he looks to back. We also dive into why Tesla matters for climate tech investing, how decarbonization is shaping VC today, the challenges of measuring impact across the value chain, why everyone should try entrepreneurship at least once, and whether “energy transition” is a term that’s here to stay.
