CRG is basically what happens when Houston's old energy money gets religion about the energy transition. They're genuinely useful if you're building something that touches traditional energy infrastructure or needs energy sector customers, because they have real relationships there. The partners know how to navigate big energy companies and can actually open doors that other VCs just talk about. But they're still learning the venture game coming from more traditional backgrounds, so don't expect Silicon Valley-style rapid decision making. They move at energy industry speed, which means slower but potentially more committed capital.
