AMP Robotics creates a scalable robotic system that reduces the cost of recycling and enables smart recycling facilities. AMP Robotics' solution is a combination of computer vision and machine learning with robots that can identify and rapidly pick recyclable materials off a conveyor belt for market and recovery. AMP Robotics automates the identification, sorting, and processing of material streams to extract value for material recovery facilities (MRFs) that process municipal solid waste, construction and demolition, e-waste, and auto-shredding. The company's engineering design reduces the cost of capital investment with modular implementation easily dropping into existing facility infrastructure without costly retrofits or interruption to operations. AMP Robotics was founded on 2015 and is headquartered in Louisville, Colorado.

BasiGo is the operator of an e-mobility startup intended to revolutionize the public transportation sector. BasiGo offers bus operators an Electric Bus solution that is more affordable, more convenient, and more reliable than a diesel alternative. To help bus operators receive the benefits of electric drive, BasiGo provides a complete electric bus solution including electric busses, charging depots, and Pay-As-You-Go financing that makes BasiGo buses affordable to purchase and lower cost to operate than diesel busses.
BlocPower is an energy technology startup that develops healthier, greener, and smarter buildings. It leverages advanced technologies, innovative electrification equipment, and structured finance to provide green heating and cooling to urban buildings. The company also connects government agencies, utilities, building owners, and smart equipment providers to identify unhealthy, energy-wasting buildings to retrofit. Its proprietary machine learning platform then determines which retrofits will produce the most energy savings at scale and uses the cloud and IoT to gather data and remotely monitor energy consumption. Since its founding, BlocPower has completed energy projects in nearly 1,000 buildings and delivered results ahead of schedule and under budget. It utilizes its proprietary software for analysis, leasing, project management, and monitoring of urban clean energy projects, and its customers are saving 20–40% on their energy bills each year. The company is backed by top investors, including Kapor Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, the American Family Insurance Institute for Corporate and Social Impact, AccelR8, the Goldman Sachs Urban Investment Group, Elemental Excelerator, CityRock Venture Partners, the Schmidt Family Foundation, and Salesforce Ventures.
Carbon Crusher is a road tech company that repairs roads in a carbon-negative way. We work with public and private road owners. Carbon Crusher replaces heavy oil with carbon-binding biopolymers and reuse old road materials with our crusher. The result is durable, recycled, and sustainable roads. We are committed to solving climate change and making a positive impact on our planet. Our goal is to change the negative trajectory the planet is on with sound values and innovative solutions. As Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has”.
Charge Robotics is building robots that automate the most labor-intensive parts of solar construction. Solar has rapidly become the cheapest form of power generation in many regions. Demand has skyrocketed, and now the primary barrier to getting it installed is labor logistics and bandwidth. Our robots remove the labor bottleneck, allowing construction companies to meet the rising demand for solar, and enabling the world to switch to renewables faster.
Charm Industrial has developed a novel pathway for carbon sequestration: putting oil back underground in the form of bio-oil. The process converts agricultural residue to bio-oil, then injects the bio-oil into deep geological formations for permanent storage. After winning carbon removal contracts from Stripe, Shopify and Microsoft in 2020, Charm Industrial began rapidly scaling fulfillment. At scale, Charm Industrial plans to gasify bio-oil to produce industrial syngas. Charm's engineering team is based in San Francisco, with operations in Louisiana, Kansas and Oklahoma.
Cirplus is a global marketplace that develops a digital trading platform for recyclates and plastic waste feedstock. The company's platform uses AI-powered algorithms and blockchain technology to close the loop for plastics, providing a one-stop shop for finding, negotiating, contracting, shipping, insuring, and paying for recyclates and plastic waste trades across the globe.
