Our Startups
We invest and partner first and foremost based on values and mission alignment, but also the ability to accelerate progress through our strategic expertise and extensive connections.
Dimensional Energy
Dimensional Energy is an exciting new company from Cornell University's startup incubator, the McGovern Center, that turns captured CO2 into sustainable aviation fuel. Along with their sustainability-focus and fit to our trajectories, we were impressed by their leadership, market-focus, technology and relationships.
Dimensional are uniquely placed at the center of a transformation in the energy business. The aviation industry is extremely hard to decarbonize through traditional renewables as electric batteries can't support long flights due to weight to power ratio limitations.
Dimensional have a proven carbon transformation solution that is ready to scale. We look forward to partnering with them to accelerate the next generation of energy.
Joywell Foods
Joywell Foods is a new company that is using new, all-natural, sweet proteins to create foods that are healthier, better for the planet, and tastier than previously thought possible. Joywell combines leading-edge science with deep CPG experience, and will be launching its own brands as well as creating strategic partnerships with the leaders in food and beverage
Currently, health and sustainability come with a sacrifice in taste. Sugar is increasingly seen as a huge contributor to chronic health conditions like diabetes - and already there's significant pressure from the healthcare industry to find alternatives and solutions. Joywell’s all-natural, non-GMO, sweet proteins are a unique solution because they deliver sweetness that digests as a protein instead of sugar. They don’t raise your blood sugar and are very low in calories, creating entirely new possibilities for food.
