Macquarie Capital Venture Studio Announces Commitments in Three Additional InfraTech Companies
Macquarie
Capital Venture Studio (MCVS), a platform launched by Macquarie
Capital and R/GA Ventures to drive innovation at the intersection of
infrastructure and technology, today announced the addition of three
companies - FreeWire Technologies, Mission Secure, Inc. (MSi) and T-REX
Group, Inc. Each of these companies significantly increases efficiency,
sustainability and efficacy across infrastructure and real assets. As
part of MCVS, Macquarie Capital and R/GA will work with each business to
accelerate the commercialization and deployment of their technologies.
MCVS will also leverage Macquarie Capital's network for pilot projects,
deployment opportunities and future investment. R/GA will develop and
execute a product and brand assessment for each company and prepare them
for future milestones, including pitching and business development.
The three additions to the studio named today include:
-
FreeWire
a leading manufacturer of mobile and flexible electric vehicle (EV)
charging solutions and zero-emission, quiet mobile power for grid edge
applications. Its products offer control over when power is used,
stored and delvered, enabling new models for charging and management
of EVs, alleviating utility infrastructure constraints, and providing
power when noise and pollution are major constraints to operations.
-
Mission Secure is a leading provider of control system cybersecurity
to some of the world's largest organizations in the defense, energy
and transportation industries. The MSi Platform takes operational
technology cybersecurity to all levels of control systems while
maintaining the benefits of a networked environment that can be
deployed and managed by a non-IT professional.
-
T-REX
is a leading provider of managed data services and analytical software
for complex markets. A full investment lifecycle solution, T-REX
combines sophisticated SaaS (News - Alert) technology with big data and asset class
expertise to drive down the cost of capital and reduce risk exposure
for renewable energy and other esoteric asset classes. By empowering
efficient, transparent finance in these markets, T-REX creates
significant investment opportunities across $500 billion in new assets
every year, benefitting developers, originators, investment banks,
rating agencies, accounting firms and investors.
"We are excited to support FreeWire, MSi and T-REX with financial
capital, access to our vast industry and investor network and specialist
knowledge," said Larry Handen, Head of Principal and Private Markets,
Americas, Europe and Asia at Macquarie Capital. "Through the Venture
Studio, we seek to unlock the disruptive potential of early stage
companies to help our clients improve operations and grow their
businesses through new solutions."
The three companies named today comprise the second module of MCVS.
Companies selected in the first module were Sunfolding
(redesigned solar axis trackers), Zero
Mass Water, Inc. (producing water from sunlight and air) and Hangar,
Inc. (software platform for drone inspection). MCVS will complete
its final module by selecting three final companies which will be
announced in the first quarter of 2019.
