Scaling Climate Impact from Pilots to Profitability: The Role of Debt, Venture, and Philanthropy

The session will discuss LACI’s journey and learnings in offering cleantech startups debt financing, venture capital, and pilot funding to maximize impact. We will describe how our organization is able to offer low cost loans – with no personal guarantees, or credit history required –, while still minimizing losses. We will explore how our model is helping founders execute on contracts, scale with confidence, and avoid unnecessary dilution.
The fireside chat will feature a LACI founder that has taken advantage of our buffet of financing options and can speak to various milestones they were able to achieve through catalytic capital.
