Backing the Innovators Powering Net-Zero

At Mint Selection, we partner with funds and founders at the forefront of venture capital in renewable energy, supporting bold ideas with exceptional talent. As the global energy transition fuels demand for breakthrough technologies, venture capital is playing a transformative role in funding the companies that are redefining how we generate, store, and consume energy.

​

From next-generation solar and long-duration storage to digital grid platforms and green hydrogen, we help climate-tech VCs and their portfolio companies recruit the people who can scale innovation into impact.

​

Whether you're building a founding team, supporting a Series B scale-up, or launching a new climate-focused VC fund, we deliver talent that brings technical expertise, entrepreneurial grit, and market insight.

Supporting Talent Across the Venture Lifecycle

Venture capital in renewable energy depends on visionary people—on both sides of the table. Investors need professionals who can evaluate technologies and support growth, while start-ups need teams that can execute fast, learn rapidly, and commercialise effectively in competitive environments.

​

We recruit for a broad spectrum of roles including:

​

Investment Associate / Principal (Climate-Tech VC) – Sourcing and evaluating opportunities, conducting diligence, and supporting portfolio growth.

​

Operating Partner / Venture Partner – Offering strategic guidance, market access, and founder support across clean energy sectors.

​

CEO / Founding Executive Team (Start-Ups) – Leading the vision, strategy, and execution of early-stage companies in energy innovation.

​

Head of Commercial / Product / Engineering – Building core capabilities across GTM, development, and product-market fit.

​

Chief of Staff / Strategy Lead – Supporting rapid scaling, capital planning, and operational clarity during key growth phases.

​

These roles require agility, creativity, and the ability to thrive in fast-paced, uncertain, and high-potential environments.

Why Venture Capital in Renewable Energy Matters

The world’s path to net-zero depends on scaling technologies that don’t yet exist at commercial scale. Venture capital in renewable energy enables experimentation, risk-taking, and radical innovation—backing solutions that can transform markets and cut emissions.

Venture-backed companies are driving:

​

Disruptive solutions in grid flexibility, clean fuels, and energy storage

​

Digital optimisation tools for forecasting, trading, and efficiency

​

Scalable hardware and software models for distributed energy systems

​

Circular economy innovation across materials, supply chains, and recycling

​

Acceleration of climate-focused platforms with global potential

Venture capital enables early-stage risk to be transformed into long-term resilience—and that transformation depends on talent.

The Value of Specialist Recruitment for Climate-Tech VC

Hiring in the venture space is uniquely challenging. Founders need team members who wear multiple hats. Funds need operators who understand both finance and technology. And speed matters—early hires shape culture, pace, and product.

​

At Mint Selection, we understand the pace, nuance, and ambition that define venture capital in renewable energy.
