FAQs
What our clients often ask before they get started.
What is the biggest advantage of non-dilutive funding in the Climate sector?
It’s crucial for absorbing the initial high capital expenditure (CapEx) required for hardware and infrastructure. By minimizing early equity dilution, founders retain ownership over projects with potentially massive long-term value.
Does my startup need to be profitable to qualify for these funds?
Many key programs, especially R&D grants from the European Innovation Council (EIC) or national agencies, are designed for non-profitable early-stage companies. They prioritize high impact potential and technical innovation.
What is the significance of ESG and impact reporting in this funding area?
It is mandatory. Investors and public funders demand proof of measurable environmental and social impact, not just financial returns. We ensure your application narrative and documentation meet these stringent impact reporting standards.
We have a regional focus (e.g., solar in Germany); can you still help?
Absolutely. Much of Climate & Sustainability funding is tied to specific national and regional incentives (e.g., decentralized energy, building efficiency). We specialize in navigating these local subsidy schemes and maximizing regional benefits.
How do you help us manage the complexity of blended finance?
We develop a layered strategy, ensuring that grants can be used to de-risk the project, making it attractive for follow-on development loans or private equity. We manage the timeline and documentation required by multiple simultaneous funding partners.
What happens after the grant or loan is approved?
Post-approval, we can offer optional support for mandatory reporting, financial reconciliation, and milestone management. This ensures you remain compliant with the funding body and receive all scheduled disbursements on time.
