Over the last six months, TNI has supported Chris Anderson of TED Talks fame, in the creation of a coalition of 16 leading venture capital and growth equity firms. 

Collectively they represent the investing brain-trust of a new initiative called All Aboard, designed to help the most promising new clean energy companies scale from innovation to commercial scale and global impact. While past decades produced trillion-dollar industries in solar, wind, EVs, and batteries, the next phase of the energy transition requires bold technologies that can both meet surging energy demand and cut greenhouse gas emissions, including long-duration energy storage, geothermal, nuclear, carbon capture and clean hydrogen. 

Many early-stage companies are ready to lead this charge but struggle to raise the $100–200 million+ rounds needed to cross the commercial “valley of death.” The All Aboard coalition believes that a collective approach can bridge this gap and create the next Microsofts and Nvidias of the climate era. 

The All Aboard Fund is being raised to co-invest alongside coalition members, further strengthening the group’s ability to finance these critical growth stages. The All Aboard Coalition’s commitment—together with co-investment from the All Aboard Fund—sends a strong signal to the wider climate tech investment community: these are the companies that will define the future.
