is an operational partner to existing assets, hard tech companies, and investors to develop, build, and operate
next-gen infra and drive technology commercialization
Commercialization Advisory
Virideas has one overarching goal: to help commercialize technology. We've done it, and we know how to do it. We advise companies on commercialization and help drive first of a kind (FOAK) projects.
Asset Development and Operations
Virideas will own and operate assets, combining standard assets and next generation technologies to create the infrastructure of tomorrow.
Virideas was founded by Charles Nelson with the intention to help companies, both large and small, drive commercialization of new energy, chemical, electrochemical, and manufacturing technologies into operational assets/companies.
The company is both an advisory for hard tech companies and a owner operator that takes charge of developing, owning, and operating next generation assets.
