Build something remarkable - and let people feel why it matters. Long after the logo fades, it’s the “Bula Vinaka” moments that stay alive.

It was a fantastic evening at 2025 ACT Green Future Gala - a night to celebrate the relentless climate innovators shaping our shared future.

Many founders picture their journey like a rhumb line: set a direction, stay the course, reach the destination. But building a climate tech startup isn’t a straight shot. If you rigidly hold one heading, you risk burning time, capital, and momentum.

As we head to the 2025 ACT Green Future Gala Awards at the Museum of Science next week, we’re reminded that alliances are the true energy source behind meaningful climate action.

Capital Energy attended the Swissnex Climate Collider event for their Fall 2025 cohort. Founders from climate tech startups shared their ideas, challenges, and questions about building a presence in the U.S. market.

We build stories the way you build your products: deliberately, collaboratively, and with just enough surprise to make people stop and pay attention. Do we have yours?

Meet Leah Barrault, founder of Barrault + Associates and a fierce advocate for working people across Massachusetts. Recently, Leah served as parliamentarian at the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts (PFFM) Convention, and is our feature for the Capital Energy MugShot! series.

We’re proud to recognize Elayne for her recent collaboration with VEIR, where she captured photo and video coverage of their “Outdoor Demo-Demo Day.”

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing authentic moments, Merissa Conley of Illume led the Capital Energy team to a photo shoot with dramatic backdrops that intertwined nature, industry, and business – a cross representation of the climate tech space that we support and represent. 

Recently, Elayne wrote a piece that was featured in Viaka - a digital platform for founders, investors, and experts focused on MENA (Middle East & North Africa). Here, she uncovers unique insights and perspectives on storytelling as a strategy for Founder’s as they build their products and organizations.

Have a read.

Elayne is speaking at the Trucking Association of Massachusetts annual conference to engage directly with industry stakeholders who are frequently misunderstood in public and legislative conversations.

In this #CapitalEnergy #Mugshot! installment we are featuring our friend, and fellow outdoor and environmental enthusiast, Joe Wardwell.
