Investment thesis
Eneco Ventures backs 'transition enablers' — startups solving critical energy transition challenges with scalable technology and business models across domains such as energy-as-a-service, mobility, heat and flexibility. Investing independently from the parent business, it contributes corporate venture capital from Seed+ through Series B (including follow-on rounds) with entry tickets of roughly €2M-€6M. Beyond capital, it offers portfolio companies commercial cooperation and piloting opportunities, access to Eneco's extensive B2C/B2B customer base, energy and e-mobility market insights, and support for joint proposition development and scaling. It seeks European startups with entrepreneurial teams, proven product-market fit and visible commercial traction.
