Top Clean Technology Startups in 2027

We’re supercharging the clean economy Crux is the capital markets platform changing the way clean energy and manufacturing projects are financed in the U.S. Crux’s platform, market intelligence, and expert team help developers and manufacturers unlock financing through all stages of project development and operation. Our team of 60+ is composed of experts in energy, tax, finance, government, and technology. We have raised $77 million in capital from some of the best investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, Lowercarbon Capital, New System Ventures, Overture, Ardent Venture Partners, QED, Canapi, and others. These funds are joined by strategic investors including Pattern Energy, Clearway Energy, EDF Renewables, Intersect Power, LS Power, Orsted, Hartree Partners, Liberty Mutual Strategic Ventures, MassMutual Ventures, and OMERS Ventures. An inflection point in American energy and manufacturing. Energy demand is growing for the first time in 20 years, driven by surging manufacturing, transportation, electrification, and data centers. Simultaneously, hundreds of billions of dollars are being invested in domestic supply chains for critical minerals and components. Developers and manufacturers will require trillions of dollars in capital to meet growing needs. Prior to Crux, the capital markets supporting this transformation were opaque, fragmented, and complex. At Crux, we recognized the missing infrastructure: a central capital markets platform designed specifically for the next century of American energy and industry. By connecting counterparties, providing market intelligence, and streamlining transactions, we unlock faster decision making, lower cost of capital, and accelerated investment.

Noli Robotics is building autonomous robotic systems that help industries detect, monitor, and reduce methane emissions across complex environments. Our platform combines robotics, autonomous navigation, sensing technologies, and intelligent software to automate methane monitoring while reducing operational costs, improving safety, and supporting environmental compliance. We are initially working with industries where methane emissions present significant operational and environmental challenges, including energy, agriculture, landfills, and other industrial facilities. Our long-term vision is to build a flexible robotic platform that can be adapted across multiple sectors where methane monitoring and emissions management are critical. We are an early-stage deep technology startup headquartered in New York, bringing together expertise in robotics, engineering, sustainability, and commercialization. Our team is actively working with industry partners, universities, and government programs to validate our technology and accelerate real-world deployment. And our team is distributed across the United States, and we're building a culture that values diversity, collaboration, and different perspectives. No matter where you're from, if you're passionate about robotics, engineering, and creating meaningful environmental impact, we'd love to have you join us. We believe solving methane emissions requires not only better sensors, but intelligent autonomous systems capable of operating safely, efficiently, and at scale.

Chip is building a new category of vehicle. Most cars are engineered for highway speeds and long-distance range. The reality is that 60% of daily trips are under 6 miles. Chip is built for those trips: fully electric, street-legal on roads up to 35mph, 100+ mile range, and built to fit the way people actually move through their neighborhoods.
