HikoTerra launched in 2025 as a developer of mobile integrated power solutions. Now the company has received investment by private equity and venture capital investor John Clifford to support company growth.
Clifford’s investment will help the HikoTerra team hire additional engineering talent to bring the company’s marine power solutions to market.
Clifford’s experience includes IPOs, public markets, acquisitions, debt and equity fundraising, start-ups and more.
He currently serves as the chairman for Sydney-based Virescent Ventures and previously worked for UK investor 3i and investment bank Rothschild.
John’s years of experience and his personal passion for the marine space as well as renewable energy will help usher the company to an enhanced level of operation.
