How it Works
If you are interested in participating in our fund, you go to our Subscription Portal, review our fund materials and terms and reach out to us if you have questions. If you choose to invest, you then follow the prompts to select a quarterly dollar level (from $5,000 to $500,000 per quarter) and number of quarters (4, 8, 12 or more) for a total investment that works for you. Click the "Apply to Invest Now" button. That will initiate account setup and accreditation by our fund custodian, Angellist Ventures. They will help you determine if you qualify as an accredited investor. If so, then you set up your account, create your investing "entity," which can be your IRA, a trust or even a client account (if you are an investment manager). We then approve your application, apply the appropriate fee discounts, and begin to build you (or your client) a structured portfolio starting right away. Going forward, you fund your subscription each quarter. There are no extra "capital calls" for fees or expenses. Investors get guaranteed pro rata access to the equity of the investments we make during their subscribed quarters, but not for prior or subsequent quarters. (Note: Fund access for those deemed not accredited is declined by our fund custodian, but there's no cost or penalty for trying!)
Our Investment Approach
We invest with a "Profit First" goal and employ diversification as much as possible within our focused boutique thesis areas. Accordingly, we invest across sectors, technological approaches, verticals, venture stages, geography, and more, selecting the best venture candidates and sizing our investments to adjust risk, widen exposure, and diversify the timing of returns. We will evaluate fission, fusion, LENR, subcritical, radioisotope, and other innovative nuclear (and climate service) technologies. We'll invest in primary reactor developers as well as vertical supply and support ventures building sector capacity, and we will re-invest in a venture's later rounds when we believe they are successfully meeting their milestones. Learn more about our Investment Approach and see our Fund I Portfolio as an example of investments made in prior quarters.
Laser-focused on Your Returns
We need to rapidly reduce our dependence on fossil fuel energy sources. Nuclear power offers humanity its best options for supplanting existing fossil demand and meeting the world's growing demand for more power. Investing in next-generation nuclear power and related energy transition innovations—most of which are still happening in private ventures—is the best way to invest in accelerating the commercialization of these critical advanced technologies and to "do well by doing good." Nucleation Capital makes this rarified private equity clean energy asset class accessible and affordable, and we work hard to generate superior venture returns.
