A partner dedicated to providing capital and expertise to teams developing sustainable infrastructure projects

At Nexus Development Capital, we invest catalytic capital when our expertise can help teams developing low carbon or resource-efficient infrastructure projects.

Venture capital investors typically bet on differentiated technologies and business models, while institutional infrastructure investors are often unable to invest before a project or business model is sufficiently de-risked.

Our aim is to bridge the gap when teams and projects are not yet ready for traditional sources of financing.

Our Development Approach

I. We provide developers with early-stage capital

We understand the development process and risks at early stages of development.
We provide the equity that allows development teams to prove out their business model and grow into larger pools of capital.

II. We are aligned partners

In addition to capital, we provide expertise to help a development team grow. Once
the business plan is more mature, we then assist the developer to source the best permanent capital option among an expanded investor universe,
maximizing value to the developer.

III. We work with many technologies

We analyze and execute opportunities across a wide range of sustainable technologies, and have executed transactions in areas such as fiber processing, recycling, carbon capture, RNG, biochar, and hydrogen.
