I keep having conversations about the funding gap in the Climate space. There's a lot of reliance on strategic investors and corporate venture arms to take the risk of a $20m+ round for a high capex scale-up. There are a few growth equity players getting active in the market - BeyondNetZero and Decarb Partners come to mind - but it sounds like we need more. Or do we just need more proven climate technologies to attract them? 🐔Chicken and egg 🥚 ? #climatetech #investment #privateequity

$41B ready to invest in climate tech!! Sightline Climate (CTVC) just published their Dry Powder report. Always really great information on the climate tech investment funding landscape. My takeaways. ➡ 2024 is off to a great start. Already, there are 31 new funds and $28B raised year to date, which compares favorably to 100 new funds / $83B in 2023, 74 / $67B in 2022, 62 / $38B in 2021. ➡ LPs remain committed to climate tech. Even though it is a lagging indicator, I think this is a bullish signal for future financial and impact potential of the sector. ➡ Maturing capital stack. Much of the new fundraising is in mega-funds (>$500M), and there continues to be many small / early-stage VC funds as well as infrastructure funds. Great news! ➡ Missing middle. I continue to hear a lot about the FOAK and growth stage VC gaps. This is a real problem AND opportunity. Glad CTVC highlights this with hard data. #climatetech #climatefinance

Great insights on the need for an evolving climate capital stack 👇 “Many climate tech companies require significant upfront capital investments in physical infrastructure, testing and manufacturing facilities, and hardware components. The payback periods for these investments can be much longer than typical VC fund cycles, sometimes spanning decades. This extended time horizon necessitates a different investment approach with patient capital and longer holding periods, and often starts well before venture capital comes into the picture.”
