We invest in high-growth companies led by purpose-driven teams that are scaling the technologies necessary for a better future.

Passionate sector experts and collaborative partners

We are more than just investors—we are trusted partners with a proven history of supporting our companies and CEOs. We have more than 130 years of collective experience and deep knowledge of our sectors as both operators and investors.

We're partners for good

“Activate has a very strong knowledge of our sector, which is pretty unique for investors. From the start, they were willing to take the time to understand Sympower’s position and the core differences between the US and European markets, where we are based. They also brought on a strong network, including Tim Healy, the co-founder of EnerNOC, who is now on our board. Since becoming our investors in August 2022, they’ve been nothing but supportive of our journey, and have brought in a great experience of scaling up companies.”

Simon Bushell, CEO, Sympower
