Ventus Energy Review Summary
Ventus Energy presents itself as a green-energy investment company that raises money from retail investors to acquire and operate renewable-energy assets, such as biomass power plants. The platform offers unusually high returns and markets these investments as accessible, asset-backed opportunities. The investigation highlights several serious concerns about this model.
The assets purchased by Ventus were previously owned by companies connected to the founder and were acquired at valuations far above what their earnings would justify.
A valuation document used to support these prices was manually altered before being sent to investors, raising questions about transparency. The legal entity borrowing investor funds has only minimal share capital, lacks a crowdfunding or lending license, and operates under a simple web-portal registration, which may leave investors without meaningful protection.
Additionally, several influencers who publicly promoted Ventus reportedly held undisclosed equity stakes in the company, creating clear conflicts of interest.
Taken together, these findings suggest that Ventus Energy’s model relies heavily on investor inflows while offering limited transparency and structural safeguards, exposing retail investors to significant risk.
