Volta will consider investments in companies that range in maturity from very early stage to later stage companies that are expanding and ready to scale to full commercial operations.

    WHY VOLTA?

    Entrepreneurs often tell us that they prefer to work with Volta because of the team’s ability to add value from both a technical and business perspective. Further, Volta has access to leading institutions – such as its research agreement with Argonne National Laboratory – to help them as they grow and refine their technology. 

    Our relationships with our investors – who are industry leaders – may ultimately provide the entrepreneur with channels to market and are potential acquirers of companies that may be a fit in their corporate strategic vision.
