We’re changing the way clean energy and advanced manufacturing are financed

Our story

Energy demand is rising for the first time in decades, driving an urgent need for more infrastructure to deliver affordable and reliable electricity. New infrastructure requires strong and secure domestic supply chains for minerals and components, as well as large amounts of capital. But connecting to the necessary financing at each stage of a project lifecycle can present challenges for developers and manufacturers.

Crux is the capital markets platform changing the way clean energy and manufacturing projects are financed in the US.

Our team of 30+ is composed of experts in energy, financial markets, government, marketplaces, and workflow software. We have raised ~$27 million in capital from some of the best investors, strategic investors, and others who collectively generate billions of dollars of tax credits annually.
