Fund History
- Galvanize Climate Solutions was launched in 2021 by Tom Steyer, the hedge fund investor and former presidential candidate, and Katie Hall, who founded Hall Capital Partners, as a multi-strategy asset manager rather than a single-strategy venture firm.
- Its first venture and growth equity vehicle, the Innovation + Expansion Fund, held a final close in September 2023 at more than $1 billion, among the largest dedicated climate venture funds raised to that point.
- At close the fund had already deployed into 11 companies across electricity, transport, industry, buildings, agriculture, and carbon removal, writing both early and growth checks into companies that need capital to reach commercial scale.
- The firm runs three further strategies alongside venture and growth: a credit and capital solutions business, a real estate platform, and a global public equities strategy, and describes the combined mandate as investing at the intersection of energy innovation, resilience, and intelligence.
