THE TRADITIONAL FUNDING CYCLE DOESN'T WORK FOR CLIMATE TECH
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Venture investment has been developed around companies that have predictable stages and timelines for growth. Raise your Seed when you’re at X level, move onto Series A at Y. For climate tech, these rules simply don’t apply. They have long R&D periods and often require a fair amount of capital before they can flip the monetization switch.
