To own the future global energy and industrial markets, the hardest, yet most crucial step is getting that first commercial-scale project successfully built and operating. We are the first firm designed to be a guide for the next generation of "Teslas" on their journey from pilot to FOAK to mass deployment.

David Yeh
Founder, Precursor

What sets Precursor apart is their ability to be a comprehensive "Chief FOAK Officer/Partner" — they can discuss oxycombustion turbines with our engineers in the morning, term sheets with investors in the afternoon, and PPAs with hyperscalers at night. That fluency was essential in structuring our successful $55 million Series A and positioning us for large-scale capital in the future.

Brad Hartwig
CEO & Co-Founder, Arbor Energy

Scaling first-of-a-kind projects isn't just about innovation—it's about execution and having the right partners. David and the team at Precursor bring what matters most to companies like ours: real experience in taking projects from pilot to commercial success. As we expand industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling, we value Precursor as a trusted advisor in navigating the complexities of scaling technologies.

David Fauvre
Co-Founder, Blue Whale Materials

For critical mineral technology projects, the path to bankability and raising tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars requires veteran pattern recognition of what works and what does not. Precursor has acquired this from operating at the nexus of FOAK transactions and its team's 120+ years of experience — and helped us craft appropriate-to-the-time narrative and strategy that many others miss.

Olivier Dufresne
CEO, Exterra Technologies

First-of-a-kind projects are where breakthrough energy technologies fail or flourish. After 40 years of bending steel and pouring concrete, I've seen firsthand how proper project development and execution can mean the difference between a billion dollar success and catastrophic failure. Our mission is to ensure promising climate technologies don't die in the valley between innovation and scaled deployment.
