New Private Markets’ Post

Looking forward to unpacking the capital layers at each phase of the industrial decarbonization investment lifecycle with this expert panel next week. #ImpactSummit24 #ImpactInvestment #PrivateMarkets

Climate tech investing is charting new paths. Investors are enabling climate startups to build new technologies more #sustainably, more collaboratively and (arguably) more cost efficiently by offering climate tech builders flexible and blended types of #financing and resources, beyond traditional #venture capital. In this 3-minute clip, Yao Huang 🏳️🌈 describes what's interesting about climate tech, Jonathan Azoff explains a #collaborative-minded approach to investing and sharing resources across #climate portfolio companies, and Alena Solonina shares why #credit is a growing asset class in climate #investing.

Private markets are where bold ideas turn into real-world solutions. Climate tech investing is no different. Whether you’re betting on the next game-changing innovation (hello, venture capital 👋) or backing more proven solutions with steady returns (hey there, infrastructure 📈), every funding stage plays a role in scaling climate solutions for the future. How do you balance risk, return, and impact? Which investment strategy best matches your goals? 🧐 We’ve broken it all down in our latest article.

𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞-𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 Fundraising for climate-tech companies is on the upswing in 2024, with fund value already on track to exceed numbers from 2023, according to PitchBook . While 2022 marked a peak in climate-tech investment, the decline over the last two years is largely a part of wider VC deal trends and not necessarily indicative of the strength of climate tech itself. Eighteen climate funds have closed so far in 2024, with five exceeding $300 million each. Emerging firms still make up over half of VC climate-tech investors so far in 2024, though the ratio of experienced to emerging firms is becoming more balanced as new climate regulations see widespread acceptance.

Ending the week excited to share my latest Forbes Technology Council article on measuring the impact of your early stage investments. At Spring and Spring Impact Capital, we're relentless in our pursuit of founders and ventures that seek to massively scale positive impact while creating businesses that delivery great financial returns. Yet, getting beyond the vision for impact to the questions of What to measure, When to measure it, and How to measure can get messy and complicated. This goes well beyond ESG to a holistic view of all the ways a company can create positive change. I wrote this piece to create a starting point for the conversation between founders and investors, and for investors to think about the questions to ask in due diligence and considerations for how to support post round. I'd love your take on the topic too. #impactinvesting #angelinvesting #venturecapital #impactmeasurement #imm #movethedial #ESG #bethechange #whatinspiresme https://lnkd.in/gnKQrJH4

#circularity2024: Are you curious about “unlocking the capital stack for Circular Transformation”? If you want to scale up, you have several options: - partnership with a strategic investor (i.e. a corporate) bringing expertise and market knowledge - Project Financing - funding from investment funds who knows the industry & can be a little patient and helpful in the de-risking reflection. 👏Interesting discussion between Hannah Friedman, Jennifer Louie and Bill Caesar that echoed my 18-year experience in Project Finance. The devil is in the details of the logistics behind the core business model, the contractual structure (offtake agreement and supply agreement), the flexibility, the market dynamics. It’s so important building leeway in your financial model to tackle with the risk that can emerge. 💡When I advise startups, I help them understand their unit economics, their break-even point and building sensitivities to understand the critical factors that can affect the business and how financiers will stress test their project. #circularEconomy #scalingUp
