About CIV

CIV is an investment firm founded by serial entrepreneurs and seasoned investors to back and build transformative companies reshaping the world’s most critical industries. We combine deep operating expertise, a flexible capital model, and a unique global advisory network to create structural advantages for visionary founders tackling society’s most urgent challenges. When the best company exists, we back it. When it doesn’t, we partner with exceptional founders to develop groundbreaking ideas, build new companies, and accelerate their growth. CIV is the strategic partner for founders building our future. At CIV, we're not just investors—we're builders. ▪ Founders First Our Build Program starts with a simple belief: founders are the architects of the future. As serial entrepreneurs, we understand the challenges of building transformative companies, and we bring that experience to the table for every founder we partner with. ▪ Our Dual Approach: Back and Build CIV takes a founders-first approach, working hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs who share our vision for a future shaped by the nexus of technology and energy. When we identify unmet market needs, we step in—not just with capital, but with the operational expertise and strategic capabilities necessary to turn ambitious ideas into reality.
