Raising funding is one of the biggest hurdles that cleantech startups face. The Investor Readiness Program is a free, four-week program consisting of workshops and optional mentorship that helps you get ready to raise from angels and VCs. 

Taught by experts who have experience as both entrepreneurs and as investors, participants will learn the different investor types, incentives, and expectations, as well as access key investment tools such as pitch decks, term sheets, data rooms, and due diligence checklists. Topics that will be covered include:

• Business and financial plans
• Negotiations and valuation
• Identifying the different investor types
• Navigating incentives and expectations
• Creating advisory boards
• Understanding exit strategies

You'll leave with the confidence to successfully execute your raise. You'll also then be able to join our Access to Capital program in which we review your data room and help you perfect your pitch, and then introduce you to the most relevant investors in our network. If you are experienced at raising, you may be able to skip IRP and go straight into our Access to Capital program.
