Adaptogen Founders
With over 90 years of investment experience across the energy and real asset investment markets, our founders bring a wealth of understanding about generating sustainable financial value for family office and institutional investors. We also have an extensive storage investment background as some of the earliest investors in the UK battery storage industry from 2014.
