About Alex Laplaza

Alex Laplaza's path into climate investing started with fieldwork in rural Indonesia, where as a Fulbright Scholar he studied climate adaptation, water governance, and food security at the frontlines of climate change, before becoming Lowercarbon's first hire and helping the firm triple its team size, quadruple its portfolio, and raise six funds from about $50 million to nearly $1.4 billion in roughly two years. He's now VP of International at Rainmaker, leading international partnerships and government relations, building on earlier work expanding clean energy access across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Africa.

Steel Atlas is a venture capital fund that invests in ten or fewer companies per fund, focusing on industrial bottlenecks like critical minerals, supply chains, and national infrastructure, and it uses a global network of industrial conglomerates to help portfolio companies find commercialization opportunities in Europe and the Gulf. The fund applies an internal framework called the Triad to find industrial technologies it believes are undervalued due to public fear or mistaken beliefs, as seen in its investment in the nuclear company Transmutex, and its team combines backgrounds in professional sports, computer science, and industrial dealmaking to support companies beyond just providing capital.
