About Cliff Ryan

Cliff Ryan is a Partner and Co-Head of Galvanize's Innovation & Expansion strategy, which positions him at the intersection of early innovation and later-stage scaling within climate tech rather than focusing solely on seed or growth equity investing. His career spans over a decade in traditional energy private equity at Riverstone Holdings and dedicated climate investing, while also serving simultaneously as an Executive in Residence at Energy Impact Partners, giving him a dual perspective across two leading climate-focused capital platforms.

Avg Check Size

Galvanize Climate Solutions operates as a multi-asset climate platform that combines traditional venture capital with what they call Movement Capitalism, deliberately fusing investment tools with organized global activism and committing over 25% of their own profits to climate justice organizations. The firm integrates unusually deep in-house climate and policy expertise—including former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry as co-executive chair and former government officials from DOE, ARPA-E, and the White House—across venture, credit, public equities, and real estate strategies to support companies throughout their entire lifecycle.
