Time Savings (3 months)
Immediate clarity on funding path, type of investors, and exact equity requirements eliminates inefficient investor meetings and events. Standardized savings: 3 months.
Calculation: Fixed 3-month time savings based on ClimeNow experience.
Extended Runway (0,45mEUR direct cash)
By securing funding quicker, you preserve direct cash reserves—critical in ClimateTech where runway equals impact.
Calculation: Monthly Burn × 3 months = 150kEUR × 3 = 450kEUR
Reduced Funding Ask (0,20mEUR)
With clear funding pathways, you secure a smarter equity/non-dilutive mix, conservatively reducing total ask by 10%—validated by standard ClimeNow experience.
Calculation: Planned Funding × 10% = 2mEUR × 10% = 0,2mEUR
Potential Valuation Leverage (1,0mEUR uplift)
10% valuation uplift typically results from improved investor clarity, optimal funding structure, and strengthened negotiation position.
Calculation: Current Valuation × 10% = 10mEUR × 10% = 1,0mEUR
Your exact results will depend on your investor conversations and final negotiation.
Less Dilution (4,5% equity retained)
By reducing your funding ask through optimized structure, you directly reduce dilution, keeping more equity for founders and early stakeholders.
Calculation Formula:
• Original dilution: Funding ÷ Valuation = 2mEUR ÷ 10mEUR = 20%
• Adjusted dilution: (Funding × 0.9) ÷ (Valuation × 1.1) = (1.8mEUR) ÷ (11mEUR) = 16.4%
• Dilution reduction: 20% - 16.4% = 3.6%
