Investment Criteria
We seek to partner with companies that have:
- A capable, high-execution management team
- An existing “distributed asset” solution offering resource efficiency and customer economic benefits — solutions using equipment or facilities smaller and less concentrated than traditional project finance can address
- Robust existing commercial revenues from a proven technology offering
- Customers that have stated a preference for onsite services or other “no-CAPEX ask” offerings
Investment Process
A Structured Approach to Success.
To ensure we are setting up our partner companies with the best chance for success long term, our investment process is more methodical than many entrepreneurs may be used to from other sources of capital. We typically will engage companies before an investment in detailed diligence and planning, including:
- A deep review of market and customer needs
- Detailed project pool structuring to create strong alignment between Spring Lane Capital’s and our partner companies’ mutual success
- Management team strengths and gaps assessments, including our proprietary deep dive interview methodology
- Technology and engineering evaluations
- Planning for enhanced asset management capabilities
- A sustainability and impact review
