Leo Trudel co-founded Lorimer Ventures while simultaneously serving as Director of Innovation & Technology at Indigo Advisory Group, where he runs advanced technology programs for major electric utilities—giving him direct responsibility for utility tech adoption rather than just board-level involvement. He previously founded CloudPort, a NYSERDA-backed smart-thermostat startup for large multi-tenant buildings, and maintains parallel roles as both an investor and climate practitioner, providing current visibility into both utility innovation roadmaps and SaaS founder pipelines.

Notable Investments
Lorimer Ventures is a fund created by operators for operators, where the GP team actively holds significant operating roles while investing, positioning themselves as "operating partner first, investor second" to eliminate the distance between traditional investors and company builders. The fund focuses on Industry 4.0 and "robots/automation as a service" companies, using a deliberately architected operator network that includes potential buyers and budget owners to secure early design partners and enterprise customers for portfolio companies.
