Evok Innovations

Evok Innovations is a climate-focused venture capital firm based in Vancouver, Canada, founded in 2016, that invests in companies across Canada and the United States. It focuses exclusively on hard-tech solutions for heavy industry, grouped into four areas: reliable and flexible power for industrial operations, mining and minerals technologies that improve how minerals are discovered, extracted and refined, and industrial optimization platforms that cut cost and raise the reliability of industrial systems. A fourth area, adaptation and resilience, covers tools that help heavy industry and critical infrastructure prepare for and recover from climate risks. Evok looks for proven technologies with clear cost advantages, real market potential and teams able to sell into industrial markets. It invests in early- to mid-stage companies at Series A and Series B, and its Fund II held a first close of $300M in March 2022. The team draws on real-world industrial operating experience when evaluating and supporting companies. Founders building industrial or energy technology can reach the firm through the contact page on its website.
