Realizing Our Vision

Since our inception more than a decade ago, the Altira Group’s consistent, compelling vision has been the basis for every investment we’ve made — and we’re realizing it as we lead the way in broad-spectrum investment in transformative energy technology.

As our history of successful, increasingly diverse investment funds attest to, our origins may be in traditional fuel sources, but that’s only part of the equation — not only for us, but also for our planet when it comes to meeting the global energy demand challenge.

Today, Altira’s unparalleled investment team is unique in its ability to vet opportunities that span virtually all energy sources — opportunities that others may not have the experience or skill to recognize as offering transformative potential. And it’s this kind of interdisciplinary bench strength that will guide the investment of our Funds.

At $176 million, Fund V is our largest fund yet, and an opportunity to continue realizing our vision by doing what we do best: focus on investments in companies at the market entry or commercialization stage, and continue investing in these companies as they grow.

As we invest Fund V, which closed in May 2007, our investment team is actually doing what many are only just discovering — that the answers to our energy needs lie throughout the energy value chain.  That’s why we’re working to exploit every opportunity for greater energy efficiency, regardless of source.

No Longer Niche

In contrast to earlier funds, Fund V will focus on technologies with the potential to dominate and fundamentally change entire sectors of the energy industry.
