10. What makes LaunchPad better than other investor-readiness solutions?
Arrow

LaunchPad uniquely combines deep ClimateTech expertise, immediate clarity, investor-grade insights, and actionable OKRs into one streamlined, powerful, and easy-to-use solution. It covers the entire process end-to-end—from readiness scan to funding path to actionable plans—and is uniquely built from founders' and investors' pain points rather than simply creating another app.

11. Does ClimeNow provide fundraising services?
Arrow

LaunchPad supports you in clearly distilling your readiness, archetype, funding strategy, ideal investor persona, and action plan—defining the critical missing middle. However, the founding team remains responsible for investor outreach, negotiations, and closing. Investors expect founders at the table, not consultants. Clarity is the key differentiator.

12. Do I need to schedule extensive calls to use LaunchPad?
Arrow

No. LaunchPad is designed for minimal disruption. After initial data input (via form/email/upload), you participate in a 90-minute Readiness Session with your CXO team to finalize data input. You receive a comprehensive report within 48 hours. A 90-minute follow-up clarity session ensures all your questions are answered, empowering you to proceed confidently.

Yes! Access our free LaunchPad Impact Calculator and an 8-minute Product Demo for immediate clarity on how LaunchPad benefits your startup.

14. Is LaunchPad suitable if I’m not raising funds immediately?
Arrow

Absolutely! Early clarity can dramatically improve future fundraising terms. Many founders proactively use LaunchPad to strengthen their position and optimize strategy ahead of future fundraising rounds. ClimeNow LaunchPad is a PainKiller for both sides of the table: Before Fundraising: Clarity to raise your first serious round. During Investor Outreach: Fix gaps before they stall deals. After Closing: Show traction, reach next stage milestones, and prep for what's next.

15. What are the prerequisites for maximum success with LaunchPad?
Arrow

LaunchPad supercharges your team with speed, control, and clarity, saving runway, optimizing the funding path, and identifying the ideal investor persona. However, its effectiveness relies on your founder and leadership team leveraging the provided clarity and consistently executing at the velocity required to achieve milestones.
