Since 2003, Groundwire has been leveraging media and technology in order to share the love found in Jesus Christ with youth and young adults. By placing well-produced and relevant commercials on the social media sites where these generations spend so much time, we are able to invite them into a conversation where our trained coaches can share authentic hope with many who might not be ready to walk into a church.

enerG2 engineers advanced nano-structured materials for energy storage breakthroughs. We believe that efficient, reliable and cost-effective clean energy storage will be an essential element of the new energy economy. enerG2 approaches the problem with engineered materials solutions; and, from our perspective, it’s the materials that matter in any energy storage device. Rather than accept the limitations of naturally occurring materials, enerG2 uses materials science to assemble cutting-edge products at the molecular level. Controlling the molecular structure and assembly process of our engineered materials at the earliest stage possible provides flexibility, lowers costs and maximizes performance. As a result, we are delivering new capabilities and creating fresh opportunities in energy storage. enerG2 is currently focused on customizing electrode materials to enhance energy and power density in ultracapacitors, one of the essential engines of the new energy economy. Ultracapacitors, which are dependent on the performance of their materials, store and release more energy faster than conventional batteries. The size and make-up of the electrodes’ surface area helps ultracapacitors store and supply large bursts of energy; the materials also effectively enable limitless cycle life. Ultracapacitors containing enerG2 materials will be increasingly embraced by the automotive industry for hybrid electric vehicles, by electronics manufacturers for enhancing the life and usability of consumer goods, and by a variety of industrial customers to deliver an ever-increasing breadth of new ways to improve energy efficiency. In the future, enerG2 materials may be used to improve natural gas, methane and hydrogen storage.

E8 Ventures invests in early-stage climate tech companies with disruptive technologies or business models. The fund is spun out of, and builds on the track record and processes of E8 Angels (E8), one of the leading climate tech investor groups in North America. The management team brings deep sector and investing experience and is augmented by 10 venture partners (VPs) and an Advisory Board.

We believe that innovation can change the world for good, and we’re providing the tools that empower innovators & entrepreneurs to bring their ideas to life.

Climate Solutions mission is to accelerate practical and profitable solutions to global warming by galvanizing leadership, growing investment and bridging divides. Our regional organizing approach is transforming the global warming debate in the region and laying the groundwork for a successful, multi-stakeholder climate action agenda. We’re generating fresh political momentum for energy and transportation solutions that benefit the region’s economy and quality-of-life.
