OUR HISTORY

TimeToAct Capital was co-founded in early 2023 by Damien Ricordeau - an investment professional and founder of several impact-driven businesses - and Frédéric Payet - an energy and infrastructure experienced investor - to consolidate earlier initiatives initiated in 2019 by seasoned professionals in the energy transition industry.
Our independent investment platform has steadily expanded to offer a comprehensive range of solutions aimed at addressing the challenges of achieving Net Zero decarbonization.
