https://lnkd.in/g52dfy8P Good morning, the articles shared below highlights the afore mentioned link that currently is ongoing in Haiti, 🇭🇹. Living together has become easier & much more habitable community. Leading towards a prosperous and independent state, they’ve housed the interest and placed their gains in viable stocks. The speed of their recovery was remarkable investing in all parts of the economy and regrouping their sectors after a crisis which is now looking towards freedom. Having foundations & seeking good wisdom from charitable hedge funds could very well be their next best move.

Great article, I like especially the final words: "Beyond cash infusions, government and not-for-profit grants can also help cleantech startups overcome the challenges of early-stage development and commercialization by facilitating access to resources such as R&D labs and equipment, and by fostering connections and collaboration across the entire cleantech ecosystem".

With the shutdown (hopefully short) of the SDTC funds, here's a bit of good news "Non-dilutive funding is flowing fast". We're in a climate crisis, but we're also in a #funding and #communications crisis. So many 'shovel ready' projects and technologies ready to make an #impact. I'm telling their #stories. Let's get them funded! #energytransition #sustainability #cleantech #startups

500 million raised since our creation! 🤩 That's the milestone we've just reached with the Groupe Enerfip's team and the community of investors who put their trust in us. Since the very first raised, in the summer of 2015, about €60,000 and had taken us 2 months, we have made 8,333 times more. 💪 The most remarkable thing is that, in this €500m, we have raised more than €200m since 1 January 2023 alone. The growth of Enerfip and our raising capacity follows that of the whole energy transition: it is exponential 🚀 🙏 A huge thank you therefore to all those who have placed their trust in us and wished, through Groupe Enerfip, to adress their savings towards renewable energies, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility and the ecological transition. Your (our) impact is becoming increasingly powerful. 🙏 A huge thank you also to our project partners, who are the linchpins of this transition we so desperately need, and who are helping a virtuous, low-carbon energy model to emerge in France, Europe and around the world. 🙏 And of course, a huge thank you to all those who are part of the fantastic Enerfip team. It is the talent, dedication and commitment of each and every one that enable the company to achieve such results. And we're going to go even further. Having more than 50,000 investors is really something. However, on the scale of France 🇫🇷 and Europe 🇪🇺, it's clear that we can do much better. Mrs Kadri Simson, European Commissioner for Energy, said last week that across the European Union, almost €90 billions have been invested in renewable energies by 2023. What stage do you think we'll be at in 5 years time 😉...

In my last post, I emphasized the need for specialist cleantech investors. Today, I want to highlight four UK-based funds that are leading the way in supporting groundbreaking cleantech innovations. These funds not only provide crucial financial backing but also bring a wealth of industry expertise, mentorship, and market access, significantly enhancing the growth potential of the startups they invest in: 1️⃣ Greenbackers Investment Capital These experts specialize in earth tech, ocean tech, and clean tech, with significant project involvement exceeding £15bn. 2️⃣ Clean Energy Capital ('CEC') Dedicated to solar, storage, and wind asset development and PPAs, with a track record of over 3.7 GWp in renewable energy projects. 3️⃣ Clean Growth Fund A £101m climate venture capital fund, focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions across various sectors. Has supported 14 portfolio companies to date. 4️⃣ Scottish Enterprise - Scottish Venture Capital Fund Provides equity funding from £100,000 up to £2 million, primarily for high-growth potential, early-stage companies. Each of these funds not only brings substantial financial support but also a deep understanding of the cleantech sector. Their commitment and expertise are pivotal in driving innovation and growth in sustainable technologies. Here's to their continued success in making a significant impact on our net zero journey! Check back in soon for more key players int his sector. #CleantechInvestment #RenewableEnergy #venturecapital

Our visit to the London Stock Exchange for the Climate Investment Summit was more than just meetings; it was a step more in finding investment to support the solar revolution🌞. The partnerships and collaborations we formed are essential to our mission. 🌍 This iconic venue, known for its global financial importance, was the perfect place for our shared mission: fighting climate change by taking steps to sustainability together. Philanthropy plays a key role in our mission. It bridges funding gaps, fuels innovation, and supports large-scale implementation of solar projects. It is key to take action🌱 We had productive discussions with the World Climate Foundation, focusing on supporting SolarX startup winners & raising funds for the Global Solar Fund. This is a huge step towards our 1000 GW solar power goal! 💡 Our meeting with Bloomberg Philanthropies was a highlight! We delved into investor roundtables for the Global Solar Facility to secure investment in risk-perceived regions & the deployment of solar projects on the ground. Their strategic & financial support is invaluable. 🌞 We also had a significant bilateral meeting with the Global Solar Council (GSC)], opening new avenues for collaboration. 🤝 #ClimateInvestmentSummit2024 #LondonStockExchange #SolarEnergy #SustainableFuture #GlobalSolarFund #WorldClimateFoundation #BloombergPhilanthropies #GlobalSolarCouncil #ClimateActionNow

A great example of how #london offers superior access to capital for US #microcap companies compared to US exchanges. Consider these stats: - Invinity Energy Systems raise is the third largest primary capital raise on London Stock Exchange YTD - It is the largest follow on raise on AIM YTD, the second largest is also an Americas company: Amaroq Minerals Ltd - There have been 26 follow ons by London listed Americas issuers YTD - Microcap companies are 2-3x more likely to raise follow on capital on UK vs US exchanges I talk about why London Stock Exchange is a more supportive place for microcaps to list than the US, here: https://lnkd.in/e-d4a_gU Congrats to Larry Zulch and team. cc Rhiannon M., Wendy Huang, CFA #ipo #markets #equities

We are delighted to announce that Aira has raised €145 million in our oversubscribed and upsized Series B funding round. This investment will enable us to accelerate the decarbonisation and electrification of residential heating across Europe.  Today, Europe still relies on 130 million fossil fuel boilers to heat homes, accounting for 10% of Europe’s total CO2 emissions. With a growing group of leading climate tech investors and a total investment of €195 million in equity funding and grants, we will accelerate our ambition to serve 5 million homes with clean energy-tech solutions across Europe over the next 10 years. Together with our new and existing investors Altor Equity Partners, the Burda family, Collaborative Fund, Creades AB, Kinnevik, Lingotto, Nesta, Statkraft Ventures and Temasek, we are making electrification of residential heating a reality.
