About

Hardware is only as strong as the science behind it.

At Onozo LLC, we provide the technical certainty that Venture Capital and Private Equity firms need before deploying capital into the energy and industrial sectors. We specialize in identifying the fatal thermodynamic, manufacturing, and operational flaws that traditional financial due diligence misses.

Led by Dr. Kenzo Repole (Ph.D., P.E.), our firm bridges the gap between innovative prototypes and bankable, grid-scale assets.

Our Specialized Services:

 Technical Due Diligence (TDD): Rigorous “Red Flag” and Full-Scope audits for Energy Storage (BESS), CSP, and Power Electronics. We validate thermal management systems, CFD simulations, and long-term degradation claims.

 Operational Turnaround: Leveraging Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen to optimize manufacturing flows. Our methodologies have historically delivered over $900k in annual recurring savings for industrial partners.

 Bankability & Certification Roadmap: We navigate the complex path of UL, CE, and ISO standards, ensuring hardware is ready for mass-market adoption and institutional financing.

The Onozo Advantage: With a foundation built at institutions like Georgia Tech, Sandia National Labs, and HP, we bring a “Principal Investigator” mindset to every engagement. We don’t just find problems; we engineer the mitigation strategies that protect your ROI.

Protect your next investment. Ensure it’s bankable.
