Common questions about our investment model and process.
We provide ₹5L in milestone-based funding to climate tech startups at the MVP stage. The entire process from application to funding takes just 2 weeks, with funds deployed through smart contracts that automatically release capital when predefined milestones are achieved.
We focus on early-stage climate tech startups in clean energy, sustainable agriculture, water tech, circular economy, climate analytics, and carbon technologies. Ideal startups have working prototypes, clear climate impact potential, and are ready to build their MVPs.
Instead of traditional equity, startups can opt for a revenue-sharing agreement where we receive 5-8% of revenue until a predefined cap is reached (typically 3x our investment). This is all managed through smart contracts with transparent on-chain payments.
We partner with third-party verification providers to validate the climate impact of our portfolio companies. This impact is tokenized as ERC-20 certificates, creating additional value streams for startups and transparent reporting for investors.
Our target is 15-22% IRR over a 5-year period, through a combination of equity exits, revenue-sharing, and impact token monetization. Our Web3 approach provides greater transparency and potentially faster returns than traditional climate tech funds.
We operate within a dual structure: a SEBI AIF Category I registration for the traditional legal wrapper, combined with blockchain-based fund management. This ensures we maintain full compliance while leveraging Web3 advantages.
