New Energy Nexus

New Energy Nexus (operating at newenergynexus.com) is a clean energy ecosystem platform engineered for supporting diverse clean energy entrepreneurs to thrive. Founded in 2004 by Danny Kennedy and located in Oakland, New Energy Nexus does X instead of Y — it solves the problem of providing funding and accelerators to clean energy startups. Under the hood, the platform works by providing close support to startups which alone employed 2,200 people. This allows entrepreneurs to access funding and resources to scale their climate solutions and drive the clean energy transition. Backed by over US$1.5 billion in investment.
