Pittsburgh-based Conifer Infrastructure Partners has closed its inaugural fund at $900 million, exceeding its target by $400 million and completing a single institutional closing process less than five months after launch, according to the company.
Conifer also made a significant general partner commitment, underscoring alignment between the firm and its limited partners. The fund will focus on building and operating infrastructure platforms across the energy and critical materials sectors. Nick Stork, Conifer’s CEO and managing partner, founded the firm after previously establishing Archaea Energy, which he led from its inception in 2017 until its sale to BP in 2022.
Probitas Partners served as placement agent for the fund, while Latham & Watkins acted as fund counsel.
