Question 1

Are you a climate firm or an energy firm?

Accepted Answer

The brand says climate. The work runs through energy, agriculture, and resources. ClimateDoor was founded around the thesis that commercial risk, not technology risk, kills most clean-economy companies. We work across sectors that touch the physical economy. Our buyers are utilities, industrial operators, governments, and infrastructure owners. Most of those buyers don't write checks for climate anymore. They write them for energy security, resource resilience, and operational performance. We work the way the market actually buys.

Question 2

What sectors do you work in?

Accepted Answer

We work across energy and grid, agriculture and food, critical resources, water, built environment, industrial decarbonization, and climate resilience. The common thread is institutional buyers and regulated markets, not the technology itself.

Question 3

What stage of company do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We work with growth-stage companies that have validated technology, early commercial traction, and are raising or scaling. Generally, this includes Series A through C companies, and sometimes later-stage businesses. We do not run accelerator programs for pre-revenue teams.

Question 4

How is this different from an accelerator?

Accepted Answer

Accelerators typically run fixed-term cohort programs focused on mentorship and education. We take an embedded execution approach. There is no curriculum. Instead, there is a pipeline, target list, weekly review cadence, and a dedicated Pod that works your business as if it were our own.

Question 5

How do you charge?

Accepted Answer

We charge a monthly retainer plus success fees on the work we close. Engagements typically run between 6 and 12 months. Capital raises include a success fee on closed capital, sales and partnership engagements include fees on closed revenue, and grant work includes fees on awarded non-dilutive funding. Specific pricing is scoped for each engagement.
