ClimateTech founders don’t just need capital —they need to prove fundability without losing execution speed. Most founders stall at DD — or fail to scale after. That is not because of vision — but because readiness isn’t visible, and investor logic isn’t understood. That’s the Readiness Gap. (Source: PwC ClimateTech Pulse 2024, World Fund/Dealroom 2025)

You've built an amazing product. Your team believes in the vision. You think you're ready to raise Series A. But here's what we've learned: Most founders overestimate their readiness. They didn't build fundability—they built a product. Runway shrinks, bridge rounds get set up, startups die.
"You're Not Ready Yet"
Investors keep saying this, but nobody tells you WHY or what to actually fix.
Wrong Investor Fit
Early dilution pushed by VCs; ideal investor match & better funding paths overlooked.
ClimateTech ≠ SaaS
Pure complexity, slow cycles, and heavy execution across HW, SW, regulation, tariffs.
Readiness is your ability to deliver the results investors expect, measured across the qualitative factors that drive quantitative performance.
Outside the Fundable Zone
"We think we're ready" (hope-based)
Founders guess what needs fixing
Spend months perfecting decks instead of building actual fundability
Burn months of runway learning they weren't ready
Scale without systematic approach
Inside the Fundable Zone
"We know exactly where we stand" (data-based)
Clear priorities on what to fix first
Move fast with confidence, not rush
Fundraise when truly ready = higher success rate
Scale systematically with proven execution
Founder Reality
"Founders hear "You're not ready yet" from investors without knowing why or what to fix. They waste months in random iteration cycles while runway burns and company-building stalls.
They are stuck in the Readiness Gap.
Funding Gates
Unlike SaaS, ClimateTech HW & SW firms face complex investor gates—tech validation, regulatory hurdles, manufacturing readiness, and market scale.
The Climate Brick developed the playbook to reach the gates, ClimeNow empowers systematic implementation.
The Need
Europe needs fundable ClimateTech startups to lead globally. We need a system that de-risks and builds scalable companies.
With the climate crisis, we cannot afford this inefficiency.
The Solution
ClimeNow LaunchPad is Europe's first Fundraising Fitness Tracker. A Pre-DD-plus service that measures readiness, maps funding routes, and delivers masterplans.
360° clarity—addressing the white spots founders often have.
