Capstone Turbine Corporation

A Strong, Stable Name

  • a white and green C65 MicroTurbine that says 'Capstone Green Energy' on the side

The Need

Sevin Rosen Funds needed a name for a new turbogenerator company. The new company would be making turbines that serve as back-ups to electric power systems for hospitals and other facilities that can’t afford a blip in power. The turbines come online immediately if there was a loss of electricity to ensure continuous energy.

The Name

The name “Capstone” was chosen because it starts with a “C”, like Compaq, and many of the other Sevin Rosen start-up investments. Also, Capstone is defined as a “crowning achievement, point, element, or event.” It sounds solid and stable— perfect for a company that would be building potentially lifesaving equipment.

The Result

Today, Capstone Turbine Corporation® is the world’s leading producer of low-emission microturbine systems, and was first to market with commercially viable air-bearing turbine technology. The company has shipped thousands of Capstone turbines to customers worldwide.
