Phase 3: Climate Technology Founders Fund (CTFF) The Climate Technology Founders Fund is designed to support teams that have proven their technology and are ready to raise capital. Our key differentiator is the ability to take the lead for other investors, setting deal documents and conducting thorough due diligence. This leadership role is essential in catalyzing market growth, driving forward the most promising clean energy ventures.
In addition, the Founders Fund has a matching requirement, meaning founders are expected to either raise external capital or invest personal funds. As part of our mission, we are committed to supporting and growing small, minority-owned, women-owned, and veteran-owned businesses, which will be a central focus of our efforts moving forward. Through these initiatives, we aim to foster a diverse and resilient clean energy ecosystem.
