There are 5 "Valleys of Death" in scaling Aussie climate hardware 🏜️ 1️⃣ Go-to-Startup: Few companies spin out of labs or universities to commercial start-up due to financing and technical risk. 2️⃣ Go-to-Product: Climate tech companies face challenges in developing market-ready products that are integrated into existing, often rigid, industry and value chains. 3️⃣ Go-to-Market: They are often navigating complex market dynamics and conservative industries that are constrained by incumbent systems. 4️⃣ Go-to-Scale: Moving from prototype to commercial scale production and operations is capital-intensive, requiring a shift from equity to debt or infrastructure funding. 5️⃣ Go Global: Many Australian co's must internationalise early on to achieve scale economies, due to the small domestic market, adding complexity and risk. This is one of the several findings that came out of a research report with Made for Scale, Claire Mula, University of Technology Sydney, and us - Greenhouse! Over several months, the research team analysed 82 climate tech Aussie climate tech companies and conducted 23 in-person interviews with founders and CEOs of climate tech scale-ups.
