  • Vor Systems

    Participated · Seed · Mar 2026

    Vor Systems provides an AI-powered platform that reviews, organizes, and analyzes the thousands of pages of documentation common in renewable energy M&A and financing transactions. The software maps documents against industry-specific nuances such as parcel-level land constraints and interconnection queue volatility, surfacing material issues for both sell-side and buy-side teams. Vor also structures Q&A processes, highlights diligence gaps, and drafts investment-committee-ready memos and decks, all with transparent links back to source materials. Unlike generic summarization tools, every output is treated as a draft meant for human inspection, keeping judgment with the deal team. The company plans to evolve its product alongside advances in AI while maintaining rigor and control for users. Fresh capital will fund continued product development, foundational engineering hires, and early partnerships with developers, independent power producers, and infrastructure investors. Vor was co-founded by Victor Shao, Guillaume Nozière, and John Bragg, who collectively bring experience from DoorDash, Meta Applied AI research, CoStar, and Capital One.

  • Everstar

    Participated · Equity · Nov 2025

    Everstar is a U.S.–based startup behind Gordian, an artificial-intelligence platform that automates regulatory compliance and licensing processes for nuclear plants and other critical industrial operations. Gordian combines AI with deep sector expertise to prepare technical documentation, streamline licensing workflows, and reduce compliance costs while strengthening collaboration between companies and regulators. Its capabilities cover both existing plants and new reactor projects, including small modular reactors (SMRs). The platform has already cut Last Energy’s expected eight-week environmental assessment to just one week, demonstrating meaningful time savings. Everstar sees growing demand for its solution as AI proliferation and data-center expansion drive global energy needs and heighten interest in low-carbon, always-on nuclear power. The company recently secured $5.5 million in new funding, adding to a pre-seed round completed in early 2025.

  • Tyba

    Participated · Series A · Feb 2025

    Tyba provides a unified simulation and operations platform for energy storage that combines AI-enabled forecasting, automated dispatch and bidding strategies with project simulation tools. Its Asset Operations product automates execution while letting operators make quick strategic adjustments, and its Project Simulation product has been used to model over 100GW of projects under development. Tyba supports operations of more than 1 GWh of storage assets in Texas and California, has tripled its customer base in the past year, and delivers revenue outcomes in the top 5% of assets. Since founding, Tyba’s simulation work has helped secure over $1 billion in project funding. The company is hiring across engineering, modeling, and commercial functions and plans to expand its forecasting and optimization capabilities into new markets and across asset classes. Tyba is headquartered in San Francisco. Tyba provides an accessible modeling platform that simplifies and unifies project modeling applications for solar and storage development, financing, and operations. The platform is used by leading community and utility-scale solar and storage firms to determine solar production, inform energy storage dispatch, leverage historical and forecasted wholesale price data, and generate risk-adjusted bids for physical power delivery. Tyba combines AI/ML for price forecasting, cutting-edge physical models for energy production, and linear optimizers to drive valuation and dispatch decisions. The company is led by Michael Baker (CEO), Tyler Nisonoff (CTO), and Tom Thunell (COO). Tyba raised $2.25M in seed funding and intends to use the proceeds to expand operations and accelerate development efforts. The platform’s focus is on improving modeling accuracy and usability across development and operations workflows.
