Notable Quotes:
“Without rapid deployment of innovative industrial infrastructure – from gigawatt-scale clean power to next-generation batteries – America will fall behind in the economic race to own global energy and industrial markets.”
“First-of-a-kind projects are where breakthrough energy technologies fail or flourish. Our mission is to ensure promising climate technologies don’t die in the valley between innovation and scaled deployment.”
“Scaling first-of-a-kind projects isn’t just about innovation—it’s about execution and having the right partners. Precursor brings real experience in taking projects from pilot to commercial success.”
Why This Matters:
Precursor’s launch addresses a critical gap in scaling first-of-a-kind energy and industrial technologies—a phase where many promising innovations stall due to lack of execution expertise. With a team that has successfully deployed $30 billion in landmark projects, Precursor is uniquely positioned to guide the next wave of industrial tech pioneers from pilot to mass deployment, ensuring climate and energy breakthroughs reach commercial success.
