Because solving complex challenges like energy security and economic resilience requires more than just capital. It takes collaboration, execution, and staying power. From early-stage founders to global energy leaders to forward-looking public institutions—we partner across sectors to unlock solutions that last.

We’re hosting our next "Game Changer Luncheon" with Hemanth Setty, CEO of Zero Circle (and former Dun & Bradstreet executive), and Dave Rimkus of Schneider Electric, alongside our founder and managing partner, Kerry C.

We’ll dive into how Zero Circle’s AI-powered finance platform is unlocking access to capital for small- and medium-sized organizations—bringing compliance, impact measurement, and growth strategy into one integrated solution. It's designed to help businesses reduce waste, improve performance, and prepare for the future. This is what ESP is built for: enabling execution through smart partnerships. If you’re serious about building what’s next, I hope you’ll join us. Come as you are. Off-camera welcome. Sandwich optional.

Newlab Detroit Louis A. Molina and I spent a terrific day at Newlab Detroit yesterday meeting with officials from Michigan Department of Transportation, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, City of Detroit, Ford Motor Company, Energy Security Partners, Electreon, Harbinger, and Michigan Central Michigan DOT and Electreon reviewed the nation's first wireless charging roadway and we got a chance to take a ride in a Ford Transit Van while it charged on the road. Thanks to Connor McCarthy and T.J. Winfrey for the extraordinary tour of Michigan Central, and the staggeringly beautiful renovation of this landmark led by Ford. The before and after pictures are hard to believe. As with Newlab in Brooklyn, a lot of cutting-edge innovation including in fleet electrification is happening in Detroit and NYC Citywide Administrative Services looks forward to further partnering with Michigan and Detroit to reduce fleet emissions, improve safety, increase efficiency, and move this industry forward. https://lnkd.in/eHiXQcFr https://lnkd.in/exeEMjyV Louis A.

Today is Memorial Day—a moment to honor those who served and sacrificed to defend our shared freedom. Like many families across Michigan, we’re up north—surrounded by freshwater, forest, and legacy. It’s a reminder of what we’re protecting, and why securing energy, infrastructure, and operational readiness isn’t optional—it’s essential. As we head into Detroit Regional Chamber's Mackinac Policy Conference this week, look for our Founder and Managing Partner Kerry C. Duggan to share more about why Michigan is the backbone of American energy security and industrial resurgence. Michigan isn’t just where we operate, it’s how we deliver. Join us. The future of American resilience starts here. #EnergySecurity #MissionReady #InstallationResilience #IndustrialResurgence #MackinacPolicyConference #MichiganLeadership #EnergyReliability #RebuildTheBase #SupplyChainStrength #AmericanResilience #MidwestMomentum #DefenseIndustrialBase #EnergyAsACapability #StrategicLocation
