Flathead Forge is a venture studio. We partner with founders who are building the ‘picks and shovels’ at the intersection of 2 macro trends:
Energy Transition
The energy transition, which encompasses the shift to alternative fuels, hydrogen, critical minerals, and carbon capture and storage (CCS), has deep-seated dependencies on the purification, transportation, and storage of water and gas. These core technologies are pivotal in achieving a sustainable energy future. However, their efficacy and environmental impact are closely tied to the efficient management of water and gas resources. Investing in innovative solutions for water and gas enhances the performance of these technologies and ensures a more sustainable and responsible approach to the energy transition.
Legacy Energy
Oil and gas, along with mining, remain integral to the world's energy and materials supply. Despite their significance, these industries heavily rely on the efficient treatment, transportation, and storage of water and gas.
By investing in advanced technologies that enhance these processes, these sectors can significantly improve their sustainability and environmental footprint.
A venture studio.
Our venture studio model allows us to collaborate with entrepreneurs to forge companies. We provide shared infrastructure, market access, investment and exit strategy.
Giving back.
Flathead Forge allocates 25% of our carried interest into a fund for scholarships and grants to students and projects in our area of focus. We understand that meaningful change transcends financial returns.
Founders investing in founders.
Founders are increasingly choosing to raise capital from other founders over institutional investors particularly those with relevant expertise in their field. We are a team of serial entrepreneurs with multiple successful exits who understand the needs and struggles of entrepreneurship. We have deep connections with our portfolio founders, in several cases, we have been in business for decades.
