This week we're talking with John Tough, managing partner of Energize Ventures, a Chicago-based VC that focuses on early- and growth-stage companies in climate tech.
Why he matters: Energize had a big week, announcing lead investments in Sitetracker, which has developed management software for critical infrastructure, and Sinai Technologies, a San Francisco-based decarbonization software provider focused on industry.
Before launching Energize, Tough also spent time in startup-land, as one of the first employees at Choose Energy, a website that allowed users to compare electricity costs.
