Thoughts on Energy Impact Partners?
I don’t see any dedicated posts on them but would love to learn more. Does anybody have any insight on what they do, comp, culture, etc? Thanks!

Bump- also interested
Went through process and close with folks there. Would say in climate / energy transition, funds fall between 4 buckets, truly early stage (Seed, Series A), VC Growth (Series A - C/D+), PE Growth (Typically Profitable) and Infrastructure.
EIPs core fund deploys primarily between VC Growth and PE Growth, with a handful of earlier bets. Additionally, they have a deep tech fund that is more focused on longer-dated technological breakthrough investments. Would say they fall a stage or two before TPG Rise, GA BnZ, Generation/Just Climate. Additionally building out more of a traditional PE strategy.
Junior team is basically all from IB, don’t really take MBAs from what I saw, all NYC for core fund. Don’t know about comp.
Their strategic angle is having a bunch of the big US utilities as LPs and offering a commercialization team for those trying to unlock that market. Also have added on some broader strategics.
Not super plugged in but was one of the few larger climate-specific VC/GE seats in NY outside of the MFs.
Happy to give more perspectives if people have specific questions
Surprisinglg saw a lot of young folks that are basically Partners there - any insights as to how they got there or how promotions work internally? Any insights into comp and carry?
Sure thing:
- Promotion / Partners - Agree seemed like Partners I spoke to were on the younger side (30s). Seems to be a mix of internal promote + external hire. My understanding was roles are partner-track but only a few years of associate history to go off of.
- Comp / Carry: Comp was between venture and growth (but closer to growth). Think it depends on team, but comparable to other $1B+ growth/vc funds i’ve seen. Associates get carry but believe it’s structured like phantom carry (?) and kicks in after a year.
Flagging there are few different funds so may vary fund to fund.
Any insight regarding:
Not on the inside and recruiting intel maybe stale but:
Do you know what kind of deals the infra side writes (check sizes, sectors) and what type of backgrounds they tend to hire into that fund as compared to the venture/growth side?
No infra fund or team. Poster’s provided examples for the space in general, not EIP
Any insights on the current process for associate role in London?

Anyone know what headhunter covers them?
Bumping this - who covers them in US and any idea when their 2026 process is?
