First Imagine! is a European-based early-stage venture capital investor exclusively focused on the energy transition sector. The firm targets startups at the early commercialisation stage — beyond proof of concept — developing deep science- and engineering-based technologies as well as disruptive business models across the full energy value chain: from green power generation, hydrogen, and energy storage, to power electronics, distributed energy resources, connectivity, demand management, AI/data analytics in the power sector, and e-mobility. Geography focus is Europe (UK in particular) and Israel, with investment ranges of €1–5M per company.
