Aurora's CEO, John Feddersen will also make a substantial investment alongside 22C Capital. "This transaction represents an exciting next chapter for Aurora. Combining the exceptional momentum we've created from CGE and 22C's support with the climate investing leadership of TPG Rise Climate, we are poised to continue to deliver market leading support for our clients," said John Feddersen, Founder and CEO of Aurora. "CGE and 22C have been transformative partners for Aurora, supporting our evolution from a UK-focused firm into a global software and data analytics platform at the heart of the energy transition. We look forward to working together with TPG Rise Climate to continue innovating for our clients and deepening our impact in energy markets worldwide." The transaction reflects CGE's proven ability to identify high-potential businesses and work with exceptional management teams to scale businesses into leaders in their sectors. Together with Aurora's management team and 22C Capital's operational expertise, CGE has supported the Company's software-led transformation, sharpened its execution, and unlocked scalable growth, setting the foundation for continued operational excellence and international expansion. Nick Heslop, Managing Partner at CGE, said: "Aurora's transformation into a global leader in energy market intelligence is a testament to its exceptional leadership team and the strength of our partnership." Chloe Holding Curtis, Partner at CGE, said: "We are proud to have supported John and his team at Aurora in its growth journey to date and are delighted to remain investors alongside management, TPG Rise Climate and 22C in this next phase of growth." "With increasing power demand across the globe, Aurora's service offering has already proved invaluable, and we expect it to have strong growth prospects in the US, Asia, and beyond," said Ed Beckley, Managing Partner at TPG Rise Climate. "Increased visibility into data and analytics for the power industry will continue to be a strategic differentiator across the energy value chain, and we are excited to partner with John, CGE, and 22C to accelerate Aurora's growth," added Jamie Gilbert, Business Unit Partner at TPG Rise Climate.
