Crux is the Capital Markets platform supercharging the Clean Economy. We make it easier, faster, and more affordable for clean energy developers and manufacturers to raise capital and finance projects.
We started as the central transferable tax credit marketplace and have since expanded into Debt Capital Markets, Advisory, and Tax Equity. We are a multi-product company, building both a tech platform and a team of industry veterans to help renewable energy developers at every stage of their project finance needs.
Think: Finance meets best-in-class, purpose-built software, meets been-there-done-that advisors, meets climate. You might call it FinClimateTech—just don’t tell our marketing team I said that 😅
Crux was founded in 2023 by Alfred Johnson & Allen Kramer, founders of Mobilize, which was acquired by Insight Partners in 2020.
