SEIS investors. Know this. There isn't a brains gap in the Net Zero transition, there isn't a skills gap or a commitment gap. There is an investment gap.   Too little capital is coming to climate and too much of that is going towards incremental solutions, or crowded into one sector.   That's why Carbon13's SEIS Fund exists.   If you want to know where to put your money to work backing pioneering deeptech, hardtech and software startups, explore our latest SEIS Fund right here: https://lnkd.in/eMccSCbD   We take you through our investment rationale, our deal generation approach, and some of the startups fuelled by our previous five SEIS funds.   Investment in Carbon13 SEIS Fund VI is restricted to Professional Clients, High Net-Worth Investors and Self-Certified Sophisticated Investors.

Our paper on cleantech VC investments has been published in "Business Strategy and the Environment" 🥳   Are cleantech VCs set up to achieve their mission to finance the innovations needed for the green transition? Short answer: Not all cleantech VCs are prepared to create financial and environmental benefits equally and this jeopardizes those who advocate for true hybridity. The longer answer can be found in the paper where we discuss more aspects of this phenomenon. We find lots of variety in the European cleantech VC landscape, also considering investments in radical and incremental innovation, as well as hardware and software.   Huge kudos to Anton and Gustav who did an amazing job in their master thesis, and thank you also to Øyvind for this fantastic collaboration. We would also like to thank Puck, as well as the editorial team and the anonymous reviewers for providing valuable feedback that challenged us to take our article to another level.   Find the article here, and please reach out if you cannot access the document or if you would like to discuss the topic!: https://lnkd.in/dGcQ8Hf7 #impactinvesting #cleantech

Hey Cleantech/Climatetech founders, I want to give a shout out to Cleantech Open! They are currently accepting applications to their 2024 accelerator cohort, link below. Not all accelerators are created equal, and Cleantech Open stands a head above most. It's for founders that want to make the world a better place. They teach you things, connect you with mentors, investors, and other founders. Despite my photo being on the banner of the application page, my endorsement of them is honest and sincere. Renegade Plastics is a better company because of Cleantech Open. https://lnkd.in/gge3UXwQ

'Without a model for Excel, the perspective for the investor remains far too vague' Elisa Achterberg and her colleagues from Circular Finance Lab argue that the the development of financial tools that allow financial experts to assess the risks and rewards of circular business models will be essential for the #circular #transition. From working with #circular #startups, we have learnt that most current financing forms tend to put the majority of business risks on the weakest link in the chain: the startup. That makes the circular chain an idee-fixe to start with. Would it be possible to evenly #share risks and rewards across the #chain, to allow circular chains to work? And how could that work for #Capital #Investments? Could that be a solution for #circular #plastics? How would that work in Excel?
