🎯 Fundraising With Clarity, Not Guesswork

In a world of pitch decks and projections, most startups still get blindsided — not by effort, but by misalignment.

At ClimeNow, we believe KPI benchmarking isn’t just about numbers.
It’s about narrative fit, investor logic, and founder sanity.

Because in ClimateTech and DeepTech, capital doesn’t just chase traction — it chases the right traction.

‍

1️⃣ Phase KPI Benchmark

Question it answers:

Are we truly ready for this next round — and which Capital Path fits us best now?

We benchmark:

• Financial KPIs (Revenue, Burn, CAC, Gross Margin)
• Operational KPIs (FTEs, Rev/FTE, install cycles, climate impact metrics)
• Fundraising logic (Runway, Cap Table health, YoY growth)

✨ Outcome:
You’ll know if your current plan is Capital-Fit for the raise you're targeting — and whether VC, non-VC, or hybrid capital matches your next phase.

‍

2️⃣ Milestone Path KPI Benchmark

Question it answers:

Beyond this raise — are we built for VC hyperscale, or for a capital-efficient, founder-controlled growth track?

We stress-test:

• Your long-term financial model (Series A → C)
• Hiring scale vs. Rev/FTE dynamics
• Capital intensity and return profiles vs. investor expectations
• Alignment with your founder mindset and ambition

✨ Outcome:
You’ll see whether your scaling path fits venture funding — or if it’s smarter to target infra funds, family offices, or blended models.

‍

📈 Why You Need Both Benchmarks

✔️ Avoid internal crash landings: Stop flip-flopping between VC and non-VC internally, wasting time and energy.
✔️ Show up aligned: Don’t pitch a model that contradicts your investors’ thesis.
✔️ Protect your reputation: Show up once, clearly, with confidence — no painful strategic pivots 3 months later.

‍

🚀 LaunchPad = Smart Capital Alignment

We don’t just ask if your numbers are good.
We ask if they match your next Capital Path — and your next three phases.

That’s how fundraising becomes a strategic move — not a desperate scramble.
