CIV is an investment firm that backs and builds technology companies at the vanguard of energy, mobility, digital infrastructure, industrials, and the built environment. CIV is a firm for founders, by founders. We’ve founded, scaled, and successfully exited our own companies. We understand the founder's journey—and we understand what it takes to win. We invest in founders building companies to transform global industries. If the best company exists, we strive to back its founders and help them pull the future forward. If it doesn’t exist, we partner with resident founders to develop great ideas, build new companies, and accelerate their operations. We are practical radicals who value outcomes over ideology in singular pursuit of our mission: To be the first call for founders who want to build companies of consequence and to back them in creating lasting economic and societal value.
