WE BUILD NEW SYSTEMS TO TRANSITION OUR ECONOMY.
New System Ventures invests in the world’s leading companies accelerating energy security, reindustrialization, and innovation across mobility, energy and industry.
SYSTEMS-LEVEL RESEARCH INFORMS EVERYTHING WE DO.
At New System Ventures (“NSV”) we use systems-level research to evaluate and identify inflection points for the most promising energy transition solutions.
Our investment strategy is built on this systems-level research, pointing us to key value chains less understood by the market, that we are well-positioned to underwrite and accelerate.
We back great teams developing hardware and software-based innovations, from inception through Series B. In select cases, we partner with exceptional founders to co-create new companies.
NSV’s strategy seeks to de-risk and scale the technologies that will transform our economy and create a more abundant and prosperous future.
