INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

RockPort’s core technologies include the energy and power technology, advanced materials, and process and prevention technology sectors, often described as “Cleantech” or “Energy Tech”.  RockPort, however, sees its mandate and targets of opportunity more broadly, where new technologies enabled by revolutionary advances in basic physical sciences approached from an interdisciplinary framework, offer value propositions previously unavailable to business in these sectors.

Due to a convergence among the advanced materials, process and prevention, and energy sectors, RockPort sees new opportunities in one sector both driving and being driven by innovation and advances in one or both of the others. RockPort has shown that these core technologies can create tremendous entrepreneurial activity leading to the creation of substantial enterprise value.

Given the Partners’ extensive industry expertise, RockPort seeks investments to which we can add value, often by taking an active role and working alongside management to build strong companies in a team-based approach. We believe that a company’s management incentives should be aligned with its investors to create and sustain value through technological innovation, operational execution, and managerial vision.
