Climate Collective’s Post

Although the general startup investment market has shrunk dramatically since the peak in 2020/2021, reports indicate that global cleantech/sustainability investment has held up well in 2023. We all have heard of impressive success cases such as Verkor (FR), Northvolt (SE) or Electric Hydrogen (US). Sustainability is a safer bet for investors than other sectors. Startups in this vertical usually have long-term plans, which give them stronger resilience to economic instability. Besides, decarbonisation has become a top priority for many companies and governments with increasing and stricter regulations already damaging the bottom-line. We at Strata believe that climate change is one of the biggest challenges humanity has ever faced and we will need the brightest minds to fight it. We have been working with some of the most disruptive startups in this space. Great teams with the passion and capacity to bring transformative solutions to the market. All the pitching companies in this event have feasible close-to-market solutions and have built impressive defensibility in terms of IP, know-how and market traction. We invite cleantech and sustainability investors to join this event to meet these startups, give them feedback and join their journeys. It will be a pleasure to discuss about the many challenges and opportunities that lie ahead on the sustainability and decarbonisation roadmap and how to build new businesses that cannot only become profitable but also impactful. https://lnkd.in/dspgQTAi #cleantech #europe #startups #decarbonisation #sustainabilty #pitching #venturecapital Tamas Szeker - 터마쉬 세캘

🌱🏃♂️ MORFO planted its first 60 hectares just 6 months after creation. After 18 months, we're at 600 hectares. We decided to sell our projects and start planting as quickly as possible, even though our solution was not yet perfected. For several reasons: 👉 Test our approach in real conditions, not just in the laboratory. 👉 Better understand the needs of our customers. 👉 Provide tangible evidence of the effectiveness of our reforestation solution. Valentin Pringuay, a journalist at Maddyness, highlighted in his article that this approach is unusual in Deeptech startups. Confronting your offer to the market quickly is far from easy because it requires accepting risks and acknowledging that it may not be perfect. I am convinced that for us, it was the best decision. This is what Adrien Pages explains in this article, with his usual accuracy 😁 Thanks to Valentin for the interview! #DeepTech #NatureTech #ClimateChange
