Under any forecast scenario, global energy demand will grow for decades due to the strong secular drivers of population growth and increasing energy intensity of developing nations. We believe many forms of energy will be necessary to meet this demand.’
On top of this growing demand, it is no longer acceptable to produce energy “at any cost” without considering global sustainability. Over 100 countries have signed-on to the Paris Agreement, and corporations and asset managers across the globe are committing to net-zero targets by 2050. Tupper Lake supports the rigorous pursuit of these targets, but understands they require time and a balanced approach to energy supply.
The forms of technology in which we are investing include software, hardware and IOT (internet of things / connectivity).
Technology will drive increased efficiency in renewable energy (making it cheaper and more accessible), traditional energy (making it cleaner and more sustainable) and broad decarbonization.
Our unique team approach helps accelerate early-stage companies.
Our Executives are domain experts with deep market experience in the energy, power, industrial and technology industries. They have extensive industry and investor networks built during their impressive careers filled with distinguished, real-world accomplishments.
As part of our investment selection process, one of our Executives raises his/her hand to play an active role in the company, typically as chairman or an active board member/advisor.
Our Executive works side-by-side with senior management, utilizing his/her network to open doors to sales and business partnerships, augment the senior management team for accelerated growth, and supplement the board of directors as needed.
The team at Tupper Lake Partners collectively contributes over 250 years of experience in executive leadership, senior finance, M&A transactions and start-ups.
