For both investors and startups, the traditional framework for assessing environmental impact has been rooted in the measurement of direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, known as Scope 1,2 and 3.
However, the promising addition of Scope 4, or “avoided emissions”, is reshaping our understanding of a company’s environmental impact.
Scope 4 goes beyond the emissions produced by a company’s operations and indirect emissions from its value chain (Scope 1,2,and 3) to account for the emissions saved by its products or services in the market (Scope 4)
As climate impact is the back bone in all our investments we always start the Due Diligence process with an unique impact analysis conducted by ClimatePoint Impact Methodology.
If the company fail to show real impact the process stops and we move on to the next case.
When the company passes our investment criterias we allocate funds.
And now we move to the second stage of our unique approch!
The two most common reasons why start up fails:
1.Lack of funding at an early stage
2.Paying customers = revenue
Through our unique approach we take care of both these things:
By allocating funds, start ups can continue to develop their business and by introducing them to our corporate network we help them onboard paying customers.
During our ownership we will support the most promising ones with backing rounds to scale their business before exiting with a better outlook for great financial returns for our investors.
