InoBat
— Structured Secondary Opportunity (Cap Table Optimization)

Energy Shift Capital is opening a confidential, structured secondary opportunity in InoBat, one of Europe’s leading and fastest-growing battery and energy storage manufacturers, headquartered in Slovakia.

InoBat designs, manufactures, and industrializes advanced battery solutions for energy storage systems (BESS) and high-performance applications across the automotive, commercial vehicle, motorsport, and industrial sectors. The company has completed its transition from early-stage technology development to profitability and industrial scale, with rapidly growing revenues and EBITDA.

Energy Shift Capital participates in this opportunity as a strategic access and structuring partner, facilitating investor access through a private, curated process.

The Opportunity

InoBat has reached a stage where energy storage and IP-driven industrialization are driving capital-efficient growth, supported by a differentiated European manufacturing footprint and proprietary know-how.

The current opportunity is a secondary transaction involving early angel and local shareholder vehicles that have been invested for 5+ years and are seeking an organized exit. The company itself is cash-flow positive and self-funded, and the transaction is not driven by capital need.

Key highlights:

  • EBITDA-positive operations with accelerating revenue growth

  • Proven execution in grid-scale energy storage deployments

  • Strategic global shareholder base across the battery value chain, including Rio Tinto (top-3 global supplier of critical raw materials), Amara Raja (top-3 energy storage and battery player in India), and Gotion High-Tech (a core battery supplier to Volkswagen Group), providing unique positioning across raw materials, cell technology, and downstream energy storage markets.

  • Strong institutional shareholder base remaining post-transaction

  • Clear strategic alternatives over a 12–24 month horizon

This transaction allows new investors to enter at a discount to the last institutional valuation, with visibility toward medium-term liquidity scenarios.

Why Now

The secondary is driven by cap table optimization aligned with market timing, rather than liquidity pressure. InoBat has reached operating stability just as the European BESS market enters a phase of sustained, demand-driven expansion.

  • Early shareholders have reached the natural end of their holding period

  • The company no longer requires growth capital to fund operations

  • Strategic focus has shifted toward energy storage and IP industrialization

  • Governance and ownership simplification ahead of strategic alternatives

  • Global electricity demand is projected to rise materially by 2050, supporting a ~USD 15T electricity value chain as AI, industrial reshoring, and electrification accelerate power consumption.

This alignment creates an entry point that combines ownership realignment with exposure to the next phase of BESS market growth.
