CEVF Mission & Strategy

CEVF was formed to fill a critical capital gap for early stage clean energy companies that help mitigate climate change by applying our extensive

  • perational experience and strategic relationships to drive companies to

commercial scale. Leveraging deep and proprietary deal flow, CEVF’s strategy is to fund ~25 disruptive, capital-light clean energy technologies and business innovations that can achieve broad market adoption with <$50M in total financing and deliver high multiples on our investment in 3-6 years.

Background

Formed Clean Energy Venture Group

  • Arose out of several family offices’ desire to co-invest with Goldman

and Miller-led transactions

  • Established ”special purpose vehicles” to enable third parties to invest

alongside Goldman/Miller and other CEVG partners

  • Charged a management fee and carried interest similar to fund
  • Continued predominant northeast regional focus
  • Goldman and Miller formed CEVG in 2005 to invest personally in

clean energy technologies start-ups and form ecosystem in Northeast

  • Grew the group of investing partners with deep industry knowledge

to ~30 members today who continue to invest their own money and work in partnership with the fund to source, diligence and support portfolio companies

  • Northeast regional focus
  • Strong track record of returns from CEVG legacy portfolio companies

(see next page)

  • Fund was established to bring more capital to increasingly attractive opportunities

with high quality entrepreneurs and larger deal flow

  • Leverage our expanding relationships across the US and Canada
  • Unique model with three fund principals, two professional staff, two experts

(technical and leadership), Strategic Advisory Board, and 12+ venture partners with deep sector knowledge

“Leading Indicators” for Clean Energy are Compelling

Price of Renewables (e.g. Solar Cells 1977-2015)

Long term trend demonstrates price declines and exponential growth globally

  • Majority of new generation capacity in US is from renewable sources (67% in 2015)
  • IEA projects renewables to exceed natural gas generation globally by 2016

Energy efficiency is lowest cost and growing at an increasing rate The deployment trend creates a “pull” investment for new technology innovations across the entire supply chain and broadly across the market

Adoption of Renewables (e.g. Wind and PV (GW Installed))
