*Ensuring impact is locked into the venture* This is one of the main goals of our accelerator the Venture Launchpad. In today’s investment landscape, investors and customers are looking to founders to be as credible with their carbon or impact calculations as with their commercial projections. That's why the Venture Launchpad pushes our founders further than any comparable accelerator. Impact won't be a nice-to-have in your venture, it won't be incremental. It will aim to follow the same hockey stick graph as your commercial growth. 🏑 We want to see your impact and traction locked into together. 🔐 Because ultimately, we want to invest in you. We want to fight the climate emergency. Apply to the Venture Launchpad and fight it with us: https://lnkd.in/e8-5cjmd #climatetech #netzero #circularity #biodiversity #naturetech #deeptech #seis #preseed #CCUS

🌍 At the Climate Tech Investors Summit NYC, we had the privilege of sitting down with Paul Burgon, Managing Partner @ Exit Ventures 🎯 Exit Ventures is a VC fund focused on investing in sustainability, cleantech, and impact-driven Series A and B startups that meet their stringent criteria and show strong potential for acquisition by strategic buyers. ✨ They leverage the experience of their partners, who have facilitated over $3 billion in strategic acquisitions, to identify highly promising startups. 🚀 After investing, their management teams reportedly implement the Strategic Exit System (SES), a customized and proactive plan designed to create synergies with potential acquirers. This system aims to increase both the value of exits and the likelihood of a startup being acquired. #ClimateWeekNYC #ClimateTech #VentureCapital -- 🌱 The Climate Tech Coalition has reached 1,200 members! 🎉 We host physical events, publish newsletters, conduct media interviews, and share deal flow among climate investors—all for free! ✅ Join us in the Climate Tech Coalition and connect with our members who are actively investing in the climate tech space. 👉🏻 https://lnkd.in/gBHAAram
