We take special projects from zero to one.
Funds and family offices bring us in at the start. We shape the idea, build the first version, put the team around it, and hand it off once it can stand on its own.
Why important projects stall
Most important projects never really start. Nobody has the time to get them going.
- Everyone agrees it should happen. It still sits in a folder between meetings.
- The people who could start it are busy with something else. Your best people are already full.
- Outside advisors write a report and leave. The work is still yours to do.
$600M
We took a company from nothing to a public listing.
20 yrs
Twenty years building software, products and data, from the first user up.
Both sides
We’ve raised money and invested it, alongside family offices, funds and hedge funds.
Now
Today we co-found and run companies in energy and waste.
How it works
Three steps, and then it’s moving.
- 1Tell us about the project. A short call. What it is, where it’s stuck, what has to be true for it to work.
- 2We scope it together. Within a week you get what we’d own, what you keep, and how long we expect to be needed.
- 3We take a seat and get it off the ground. We join your team, report to you, and hand it off once it can stand on its own.
What we actually do

- Structure the moneyWe design how a deal is financed and hand it to counsel to paper
- Build the softwareThe data and tools a deal runs on
- Write the investment caseWith the proof behind every claim
- Develop real projectsFrom a site to an engineering study a lender will accept
- Build productsStarting with the first person who uses it
What we’re building
Landfill Eraser
We remove old landfills instead of monitoring them for decades. What’s in the pile gets used, and the land comes back.

Replete Energy
We turn waste into methanol for ships, made at the port where they refuel.
Signature service
Most raises fall apart after the meeting, not in it.
An investor opens your data room alone, late, and can’t find what they need. DataRoom fixes that. We write the case, link every claim to its source, and show you who is actually reading.
See DataRoomQuestions people ask us
- Is this consulting?
- No. Consultants advise and leave. We join the team and own part of the outcome.
- Why not hire someone full time?
- You’d spend months hiring for a project that needs someone now. We start in weeks, and you can hire behind us.
- What does it cost?
- It depends on the project and how long you need us. We’ll give you a number on the first call.
- Do you only work in energy?
- No. We’ve built in software, media, data and capital. Energy and waste is where we’re operating today.
When it works, the project has an owner, a plan and a date, and you stop carrying it yourself.
We only take a few projects at a time. Tell us what you’re working on.
Sometimes we lead the build. Sometimes we join your team as an operator. Sometimes we partner with you on a new idea.
