The Nexus

Few advisors sit in all three circles. We were built there.

We understand the unique interaction between capital, energy and technology, and how the three can combine effectively to create value.

Private capital

IQ writes the investment paper, but EQ gets the deal done. The personal touch really matters.

Energy

Decades of experience in the trenches across power gen, offshore, onshore and renewables on both sides of the Atlantic.

Technology innovation

Hands-on experience founding, scaling and commercialising new energy technologies — and knowing which ones will stick.

How we work

Knowledge you can put to work, not a report on a shelf.

Senior-led, always

You work directly with the people whose experience you are hiring — no hand-off to a junior team.

Founding through to exit

We have built, invested in and sold businesses ourselves, so we know each stage from the inside.

A transatlantic bridge

Bases in Houston and Glasgow, connecting the European and North American energy communities.

Phased and practical
