Cleantech Startups - investment is a journey, and it often starts with….. The wrong conversation....! In recent months, I have had lots of conversations with founders of cleantech startups - most in the early stages through to the first minimum scale prototype. 💡 But often the focus is on funding, pitching to VCs and the potential of IPOs than anything else - it's too early for all that however. Of course, we know for cleantech and renewable hardware, the cost to develop, build, test, validate and iterate your technology is significant. 💰 💰 💰 It needs funding, the pressure is on.....but.... As a cleantech startup, you are embarking on a long journey, which begins with your concept; what real world problem are you trying to solve? It starts with something the success of your journey counts on….your concept and market fit. You need; 💡 A solid concept 🌍 That solves a real world problem 🧩 That aligns for market-fit If you don't have that, you won't get the funding. Startups have to align the pieces here, to then enable the funding strategy and roadmap to come into play alongside your technology development. We can help with that ☎️ Securing funding via grants and then equity becomes a lot easier once the pieces are in place - grant awards and equity investors all want to see a path to positive outcomes and commercialisation. There's a lot to consider - let's give your startup some Real World Readiness! Look out for our pending Funding Workshop which helps bring this into focus...... #cleantechinvestment #renewableenergy #startupinvestment
