Climate Collective builds climate startup platforms that takes an “ecosystem” approach to support startups in the Startup Journey. The Collective focuses on the early-stage acceleration phase, as it is here that government funding is limited and the private sectors find too early to come in. And the platforms are largely virtual (or quasi-virtual), giving them significant power to reach widely and inclusively across regions cost-effectively.
Our Ecosystem Model
To do this, the Collective is building an integrated set of platforms that takes a holistic approach to supporting climatetech startups in the market validation stage of the Startup Journey.
