Move Energy

Move Energy is an early-stage venture capital firm investing in European energy-transition start-ups and scale-ups. Its mandate spans three sectors - power, transport and buildings - and covers hardware, software and combined solutions aimed at decarbonisation. Investments are made from Late Seed through Series B, with a stated primary focus on Series A, the point at which a company has found initial product-market fit and is positioned to accelerate growth.

Geographically the firm invests across Europe, with a strong focus on the Netherlands. Sector coverage includes renewable energy, mobility and transport electrification, clean energy technology and the built environment.

Beyond equity, Move Energy provides portfolio support drawing on energy-market, investment, venture building and transaction experience. This includes help developing products, channels and organisations, as well as capital structuring support encompassing non-dilutive financing - a facility relevant to capital-intensive hardware businesses. The firm describes an approach of working alongside founders rather than providing passive capital, and states that it targets measurable sustainability impact alongside financial returns.
