Pillsbury’s New Energy Technologies Report: A Look into the Future of Energy Innovation

At Greenbackers, we’re always looking to spotlight critical insights shaping the future of climate and energy investment. That’s why we’re pleased to share Pillsbury’s New Energy Technologies Report, produced in partnership with PitchBook. 

Pillsbury’s New Energy Technologies report, created in partnership with PitchBook, is the latest in Pillsbury’s long-running series analyzing VC dealmaking and exit trends in energy technology. It covers data through the end of 2024 and finds that, while global energy VC activity moderated, it maintained the enduring growth trends of the last several years, reflecting sustained resilience as the broader venture market normalized to pre-pandemic conditions.

The report also features a conversation with Pillsbury’s Elina Teplinsky, Matt Kirmayer and Margarita Kelrikh, who discuss the factors contributing to continued dealmaking momentum in the energy tech sector and why energy startups are well-positioned to continue raising money amid market uncertainty.
