How to Shortlist Climate Tech Investors

Do not contact all 40 investors. Build a smaller list based on five criteria:

  1. Subsector: Match your company to energy, mobility, software, materials, agriculture, or another precise climate category.
  2. Stage: Focus on investors who back companies at your current round.
  3. Geography: Confirm that they invest in your country or target market.
  4. Cheque size: Select investors whose usual cheque size can fit your round.
  5. Recent activity: Check current roles, recent investments, and contact routes.

Your stage should also determine which list you use. Compare pre-seed angel investors by sector, seed angel investors, or Series A investors before finalizing your targets.

A founder raising a $500,000 pre-seed round should not prioritize a Series A investor whose minimum cheque is equal to the entire round.
