Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about getting your pitch deck investor-ready

What do climate investors look for in a pitch deck?

Climate investors evaluate: technology readiness level (TRL), scalability of impact (tons CO2e avoided), commercial viability (unit economics without subsidies), regulatory tailwinds (IRA, EU Green Deal), and team's domain expertise in climate science or energy.

How do I quantify climate impact for investors?

Use standardized metrics: tons of CO2e avoided per year, cost per ton of reduction, and scalability path to gigatons. Back-of-envelope calculations are fine at pre-seed, but show you understand lifecycle emissions and avoided vs. removed carbon.

What traction do climate investors expect at seed?

Climate seed expectations vary by sub-sector: for software/SaaS climate tools, standard SaaS metrics apply. For hardware/deep tech, investors want LOIs, pilot customers, and proof the technology works outside the lab. Revenue expectations are lower but validation is higher.

How do I address the "valley of death" for climate tech?

Acknowledge the hardware/scaling risk upfront. Show your bridge strategy: grant funding (DOE, ARPA-E), strategic partnerships, phased deployment plan, and how each funding round de-risks the next. Investors respect founders who understand the long time horizons.

Are there climate-specific funding sources I should know about?

Beyond traditional VC: DOE/ARPA-E grants, the Inflation Reduction Act tax credits, state clean energy funds, Breakthrough Energy Fellows, LACI, Greentown Labs, and corporate climate venture arms. Many climate investors want to see you've leveraged non-dilutive funding.
