Better World Group and the work after the handshake
A climate agreement can take years to reach the ground. Better World Group makes a business of the coalitions, public meetings, and follow-through that help it get there.
Sunstone Strategies takes climate policy to the kitchen table
A gas stove, a truck route, a utility bill. Sunstone Strategies builds climate campaigns around the places where energy policy becomes personal.
Nevoya
Nevoya is a San Francisco- and Los Angeles-based, fully electric freight carrier that pairs a fleet of zero-emissions trucks with a purpose-built, AI-orchestrated Transportation Management System. Rather than retrofitting legacy diesel software, Nevoya builds route optimization, load balancing, dynamic battery management, and charging schedules from the ground up for electric operations - and says the result already matches or beats diesel on cost and reliability in California. In its first six months it onboarded Fortune 500 shippers and leading 3PLs, and in July 2025 it raised a $9.3M seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital to expand across California and into Texas.
Terraline
Terraline is a Bay Area vehicle technology company founded in 2021 (originally Solo Advanced Vehicle Technologies) by ex-Tesla and Waymo engineer Graham Doorley. It set out to decarbonize freight with a clean-sheet, battery-electric Class 8 long-haul truck, the Tangra LH1, boasting 500+ miles of range and the lowest drag coefficient of any Class 8 truck. The company has since evolved toward a software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform - a central compute system, cloud telemetry, and an AI backend - aimed at modernizing the electronic architecture of heavy machines.
