The Imperative of Transparency in Fundraising ✅ Transparency in fundraising is a foundational principle that has shaped the evolution of capital raising. Historical data underscores that investors are more inclined to engage with entities that demonstrate clear, honest communication about their financial health, strategic objectives, and potential risks. A study from the Journal of Financial Economics illustrates a positive correlation between transparent reporting practices and a firm's ability to attract investment at favorable valuations. Here are actionable strategies to improve transparency in your fundraising efforts: ▪️ Ensure that all material information, including financial performance, strategic goals, and risk factors, is disclosed in an accessible and understandable format. ▪️ Commit to regular updates on your company’s progress, challenges, and market conditions. Share positive news, challenges and how they are being addressed. ▪️ In all investor communications, strive for clarity. Avoid jargon and complex financial terminology. ▪️ Support your narrative with data. Use historical performance, market analysis, and forecasts to substantiate your strategy and growth potential. Ensure that your data presentation is clear and interpretable to non-specialists. ▪️ Encourage questions and feedback from potential investors. A two-way communication channel signifies openness. ▪️ Incorporating transparency into your capital raising strategy transforms it into a strategic asset in the fundraising landscape. By doing so, you stand a chance to significantly enhance your appeal to potential investors.

At a time of such political uncertainty, an urgent reminder that climate-tech is a matter of national security and industrial development strategy. Without any reference to carbon or climate-change, the energy transition is a race the US and the west cannot afford to lose. Technology transitions fuel the economic and military power that shape geopolitics and the rise and fall of empires. Think: Caravel ship design and new navigation tools that underpinned Portuguese conquests of Africa and the Americas. The 1st industrial revolution fueling the rail roads, manufacturing that built the British empire. Then the US-lead second industrial revolution with oil, cars, and the economic boom associated with these. Ascendent after WWI, the US eclipsed Britain and Europe as in WWII on the back of its economic might and technology leadership. But the best analogy for the critical strategic, economic and technological importance of winning the clean energy race is microprocessor chips. In the 1950s through 70s, America’s ingenuity and capital markets seeded these technologies that changed everything, not just computers, the internet communications, but smart bombs, intelligence, satellites in the midst of the cold war. Japan and Korea’s economic miracles were tied directly to economic development policies focusing on these industries. And today, China’s claims on Taiwan are more about controlling TSMC’s chip manufacturing technology than national identity. Lets be clear. Clean energy technology is the next wave of technology that will shape this century and those that win this tech will control the economic and geopolitical order of the future. China saw this 20 years ago and has invested billions to ensure it wins the race. Today, China controls ~75% of global battery manufacturing capacity, 80 % of solar panel capacity, 58% of EVs manufactured, and 60% of the critical minerals that feed these industries. Beyond economic power, climate-technologies will also decide the future of hot and cold conflict. Think: grid resilient military bases powered by distributed energy at a time of cyber attacks on the grid. Electric tactical vehicles with no noise signature. Battlefield batteries replacing highly exposed fuel supply chains. This isn’t speculation, this is straight from the US militaries climate-change strategy. China understands that clean energy is the inevitable future, and he who captures this prize wins the 21st century. They are cheaper, easier to deploy, with exponentially falling costs, and myriad use-case superiorities that make the obsolescence of fossil fuels inevitable. Today, 90% of all new generation capacity being added globally is renewable. We reached peak ICE vehicle in 2017. At a time when climate has become a partisan political issue, lets reframe this topic as the urgent matter of global security it is. The future of clean energy is not open to debate. But who wins this prize and, with it, the next century, is up to us.

As founder and CEO of Budderfly Al Subbloie has led the Energy-Efficiency-as-a-Service startup to become one of the fastest growing companies in the cleantech sector in the United States, as well as a national role model for firms seeking to leverage private sector practices to address issues of climate change. https://lnkd.in/gw-AJ5By Apple https://lnkd.in/geqSeHhE Spotify https://lnkd.in/gnuTFdgZ Al Subbloie’s shares his insights on episode 245 of eRENEWABLE and The Green Insider Podcast is incredibly inspiring, especially given Budderfly’s impressive growth and impact in the Energy as a Service (EaaS) sector. Their innovative approach, combining patented technologies, high-efficiency equipment, and proprietary energy software, clearly sets them apart as a leader in sustainability. It’s remarkable how Budderfly’s model benefits businesses by reducing energy costs and carbon footprints while enhancing operational reliability and customer experiences. Their recognition on the Inc. 5000 and Deloitte Technology Fast 500 lists underscore their success and commitment to driving positive change. They serve small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like restaurants, assisted living facilities, and retail franchises are key players in the fight against climate change. However, they often lack the skills, knowledge, upfront capital, and time required to make necessary energy efficiency improvements. Budderfly addresses this by providing zero upfront cost solutions, installing, monitoring, and managing energy-efficient technologies. This helps SMEs lower energy bills, reduce carbon footprints, and improve operations while offering sustainability metrics for ESG reporting. Budderfly’s expertise in franchises allows rapid scalability and significant climate impact.

Are we ready to confront the reality that our changing climate is fueling more frequent and severe natural disasters? From droughts to wildfires, the impacts are undeniable, and Australia (and the RoW) is feeling the effects firsthand with an increase in extreme weather events. As we face these challenges, it's crucial that we come together to protect our communities and the planet. I wrote this article for B The Change Media last year highlighting the urgent need for action. Join me in resharing this important message and let's work together to ensure a thriving future for all. #ClimateAction #PricingClimateRisk #NoPlanetB

ICYMI - last week the Venture Climate Alliance published the Portfolio Alignment Framework, the first of three net zero frameworks created specifically for the venture capital community. The Driftwood Climate team was honored to have developed this over the past year in partnership with the VCA leadership and member firms. Now is THE pivotal moment for the VC industry to tackle climate change: 🔌 the growth in data center compute for AI applications is causing electric load growth in the US for the first time in 30 years. Every dollar of burn from a VC-backed AI startup has a meaningful carbon footprint, whether or not that company ends up succeeding. 🌎 the climate-mitigating technologies we will need from 2030-2050 are currently being incubated in VC portfolios. The next five years will be critical for scaling, stability and channeling capital to those companies with the clearest route to positive impact. 🏦 the momentum behind net zero alliances has....stalled from the initial wave of optimism after COP26. The VCA has the opportunity (and mandate) to prove that a net zero goal can be practical and value creating. If you find this first framework exciting, just wait for what comes next!

Stock exchanges, like NYSE, may disagree on the IPO attraction … what do founders, esp in the G20 countries, want? Is it aligned to key investors? Entry price function of the Froth of the market and, if led by tech sector, will have bias towards IPO… listing also creates currency for acquisitions, enticing value add people, etc…

Despite recent outflows of $40 billion from ESG funds, there will come a point when outflows will subside and ESG based assets will resume their growth again. What has been happening recently is a filtering of "pseudo-ESG" from "core-ESG". It is an inevitable adjustment for any industry that experiences a rapid rise, as many rush in to ride the wave under false pretense and ultimately get weaned off. According to an Opinion article by the Financial Times, "To the dismay of its critics, however, the first sustained outflows do not mark the death of ESG as a concept, though it may mark its decline as a marketing tool. Investors are still interested in sustainability, especially in Europe and the UK, where the market has been insulated from the worst of the US culture wars. More effective regulation has reduced greenwashing, and fund managers are becoming better at creating funds with fewer inconsistencies. And an outflow of $40bn is relatively small compared with the approximate $7tn of ESG assets under management." #ESG #Climate #greenwashing #environment #Impact https://lnkd.in/e34wvT3h

Even after many years in the industry, I continue looking for a fresh angle to the ‘known’, for an opportunity to expand my understanding. In the realm of climate investing, the landscape is diverse, with various frameworks and references, making it easy to overlook the bigger picture. Recently, I completed a course that has provided me with a clearer view of this broader perspective. It is the Cambridge course "Climate Change for Decision Makers". https://lnkd.in/du7yTMXn I was really impressed by the quality of the materials and the organisers' skill in synthesizing vast amounts of information across three key topics: - climate change and planetary boundaries, - energy and systems transition, - net-zero governance, stranded assets, and critical raw materials. It gave me a fresh perspective on the varying applicability of businesses in the new low-carbon economy and the potential role for private equity. I delve deeper into this topic in my recent article, https://lnkd.in/df_uvcQX It has been particularly valuable to realise that continued and concerted action towards system transition can trigger positive tipping points, such as reducing the levelized cost of energy or EVs. Consequently, countries and organizations most active in the field of climate change can benefit from a first-mover advantage through their sustained action. The private equity field is well-equipped with the knowledge and skillset to become a significant player in the transition to a low-carbon economy, and I hope to see more news from respective funds regarding their future deals in this field. I extend my gratitude to Jorge E. Vinuales and Katherine Bruce for their support and guidance during the course. It has been both challenging and fulfilling for me! #climatefinance #climateinvestment #privateequity #climatetech #PEforClimate

Exploring the intersection of sheltertech and climate tech uncovers immense potential for transformative impact. The built environment, responsible for a significant share of global emissions, offers a prime opportunity for innovation and sustainable development. This journey through the emerging opportunities in sheltertech investment has revealed a pressing need to bridge the gap between our climate ambitions and the realities of urban development. By prioritizing investments in affordable, sustainable housing technologies, we have the power to catalyze climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. This is not just about building homes; it's about reshaping our future towards a more sustainable and equitable world. Let's take this call to action seriously and leverage sheltertech as a pivotal arena for driving environmental sustainability and social well-being. For a deeper understanding and to explore the opportunities within sheltertech, I encourage you to check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eHrjw3c5 #Proptech #ShelterTech #Sustainability

In 2023, the largest segments in the climate tech vertical were low-carbon mobility, industry, grid infrastructure, intermittent renewable energy sources (solar and wind). 50 VC deals for climate tech companies in 2023 exceeded $150 million, and of these, nine exceeded $500 million. Companies that need a lot of capital to execute on a big vision can succeed today. #climatetech #climateVC #climate

Massachusetts in 2024 is home to the most climate tech startups per capita in the country. They thrive at institutions like MIT and Greentown Labs, turning big ideas into tangible solutions. But we struggle to keep them here. States from coast to coast are wooing away entrepreneurs and employers. These places facilitate demonstration programs, connect companies to trained workers, and provide access to real estate for manufacturing. The Mass Leads Act rebalances these incentives, directing capital investments and tax benefits that keep these innovators in Boston for the long term and encourages others to join them. #climatetech #climateVC #venturecapital

Two great analogies for carbon and nature investing I saw last week, worth resharing: 🌳 Jay Lipman shared the example of how nature investing could follow the same path as infrastructure investing: · Infrastructure wasn’t always popular; it was considered an investment backwater. Now, it’s a $1.3 trillion asset class. Investors once doubted its scalability, but today they allocate billions. · Nature investing is maturing quickly. If we can replicate the maturity of infrastructure investing in 5 years instead of 20, we can close the $830 billion nature investment gap and protect vital ecosystems. 🖥️ At the ISDA Annual General Meeting 2024 in April, Rubicon Carbon's CEO Tom Montag drew a parallel between where the Voluntary Carbon Market sits today versus the early days of the now enormous derivatives market: · Once passed over as “opaque, nascent, illiquid, non-standardized”, the derivatives market has grown to somewhere over $600trn today. · Both require trust, regulation, and transparency to function effectively. By channeling funds into carbon reduction and removal projects, the VCM can drive impact in the same way derivates help drive economic growth. 🔄 But didn’t we say this all in the last cycle? After the rise and fall of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), it's natural to question what’s different this time. Here’s why the current landscape shows more promise: 1. 2022-23 Market Cleanup: Recent efforts have helped wash out lower-quality credits and speculators, setting a higher standard for market integrity. 2. Article 6 Implementation: The ongoing implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement is making carbon markets more robust and transparent. 3. Increased Corporate Support: Companies are now more committed than ever to supporting carbon markets, and willing to pay for quality. 4. SBTI and Thought Leaders: The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTI) and The VCMI are gaining traction, guiding companies to make measurable progress. Thought leaders like Symbiosis and increasing U.S. government regulations are also stepping up to ensure accountability and effectiveness. At Terra Natural Capital, we see these developments as signs of a maturing market and these great analogies help nervous market players to understand the immense potential to be realised. Our mission is to support and finance high-impact carbon credit and natural capital assets globally, contributing to a sustainable future. Get in touch if you’d like to understand more, whether you’re a CSO or an investor exploring the carbon space. 👉🏼 Follow for future updates and insights on the carbon markets and natural capital investing. #natureinvesting #voluntarycarbonmarket #naturalcapital

This is a good and important read on #FOAK projects and the ClimateTech Valley of Death, with good insight from some very sharp investors. One often overlooks aspect of this challenge is WHO will build these early commercial projects that are smaller and don't often appeal to top tier EPCs. Developing and building these projects will be a critical, often binary factor in the outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gbedmkmt

4th iteration of Anson DLE partnership. They started with Lilac IX and made lithium sulphate concentrated eluate on 4 October 2018. Then Lilac IX switched to HCL to make lithium chloride concentrate for Anson from 2019. Then Anson switched to Sunresin adsorbent DLE. Now it’s trying Koch which uses Lanshen adsorbents. But if you look at Koch DLE results in the Standard Lithium DFS Technical Report, the Lithium recovery by LSS LiPro DLE was far inferior to LiSTR. So it looks like superior impurity rejection of LSS LiPro was the main selection criteria. Not lithium recovery efficiency as that still seems very low. That means more energy use is needed for reverse osmosis and mechanical evaporation to concentrate weak eluate - albeit with lower impurities. The devil is always in the DLE detail.
