How it works

Climate Tech Finance bridges a financial gap between climate entrepreneurs needing working capital and commercial and community lenders seeking to participate in the high-growth, high-impact clean technology market.

Climate Tech Finance works across the innovation-adoption spectrum: offering loan guarantees that lower the risk of the lending process and helping climate entrepreneurs secure working capital.
