While we rapidly deploy the technologies currently available to meet 2030 targets, we also need to support the emerging climate tech with the potential to massively reduce or remove emissions by 2050.
Enter Earth Tech: 2050, an impact accelerator for climate tech startups with huge impact potential.
How We Support Them
To best serve the ventures, we build a custom accelerator around each one, tailored to their needs and goals.
Deep Dives
We employ deep dives with each venture, alongside a team of industry experts, to establish objectives and key results. These deep dives identify any roadblocks and key areas of support the venture requires to accelerate its path to scale.
Custom Experience
Based on the outcomes of deep dives, we design a customized accelerator for each venture. We map out and offer key support from industry experts, which may include techno-economic analyses, life cycle analyses, fundraising strategy, business model support, IP strategy, go-to-market strategy, hiring support, and more!
Investor Matchmaking
We assist ventures in preparing by optimizing their fundraising strategy through Foresight’s Access to Capital program. Then, we provide curated introductions to investors within our network of over 550 investors. Additionally, we support ventures in securing non-dilutive funding.
Industry Connections
We help ventures land key meetings by leveraging our network of industry experts and decision makers at large companies – their potential pilot partners, customers, or strategic investors.
