Möchtest du den Bereich Marketing und Kommunikation bei ForTomorrow übernehmen und ausbauen? Oder kennst du eine Person, die passen könnte? Wir freuen uns auf deine Bewerbung hier: https://lnkd.in/ejdZhH6w Bzw. übers Teilen. In den letzten 2 1/2 Jahren hat Chris den Bereich aufgebaut. Nun stellt er sich der Herausforderung, Nachhaltigkeit bei einem anderen Unternehmen voranzubringen. Dadurch hast du jetzt die Chance diesen Bereich und ForTomorrow weiter wachsen zu lassen. Gemeinsam haben wir fast 20.000 europäische Emissionsrechte weggekauft und so bewirkt, dass die großen Verschmutzer in Europa 20.000 Tonnen CO₂ weniger ausstoßen! Zusätzlich haben wir neue Mischwälder in Deutschland geschaffen, auf denen über 70.000 Bäume wachsen. Gemeinsam beschleunigen wir Klimaschutz in Europa.

In the flurry of activities, I almost forgot to share we've raised £6.7m to close out Puraffinity's Series A round! It's a great example of working with the Royal Academy of Engineering ecosystem, getting introduced to the BGF team through seasoned fellows who've raised capital from them before and worked closely with the team. Grateful for all the Royal Academy of Engineering Enterprise Hub guidance during the process. Excited to have you join the journey Dennis Atkinson, Luke Rajah, Rowan Bird and team https://lnkd.in/e6JBj_fe

🚀 In our many offtake discussions with startups, corporates, and investors, we saw the need for a simple framework to make sure we are talking about the same thing. Today, with HV Capital online and live at The Drop, we are introducing the Maslow Pyramid of Offtakes. Why this framework? 1️⃣ Not all offtakes are created equal – Different stages demand different levels of commitment, maturity and certainty, from early soft agreements to long-term bankable deals. 2️⃣ Offtake maturity follows tech maturity – Your level of tech maturity dictates the maturity of offtake agreements you can win. 3️⃣ Climb the traction pyramid – Start with low-risk commitments and work your way up to bankable agreements as you deliver on key milestones and build customer relationships and trust. Here’s how the pyramid works: 👉 Soft Agreements: Non-binding and low-risk, ideal for the Prototype stage (TRL 4-5). Here, you’re focused on proving feasibility—showing your technology works. LOIs and MOUs build early trust without heavy commitments. 👉 Binding Agreements: In the Pilot/Demo phase (TRL 6-7), you need to prove performance and reliability. Binding agreements offer legal certainty for short-term engagements or smaller quantities, that can be tied to conditional milestones to further reduce risks for your offtakers. 👉 Bankable Agreements: The ultimate goal. By the time you reach FOAK and NOAK (TRL 8-9), you must prove the commercial viability and scalability of your technology. Bankable agreements provide long-term cashflow certainty, crucial for securing major capital and scaling. What do you think of this framework? Does your company follow a specific strategy for offtake agreements? We’d love to hear your thoughts — share them in the comments below! Cc: Sebastian Heitmann, Sarah B.
