New equity crowdfunding programme unearths cleantech start-ups

Found by us, funded by you, a new start-up investment programme by EIT Climate-KIC and Seedrs, is now open for pre-registration.

Over the last ten years, EIT Climate-KIC has helped innovators transform ideas into early-stage start-ups that apply commercial logic to the climate challenge. However, these start-ups require equity investment to better grow, take risks and work towards a net-zero and resilient economy.

Found by us, funded by you aims to unearth interesting cleantech start-ups and provide investors with a rolling pipeline of climate-aligned investment opportunities. The programme is hosted on the Seedrs platform, enabling easy access to detailed information about the featured start-ups, including terms, pitch decks and founder Q&As. Seedrs also allows start-ups to close funding rounds faster, to focus on developing their core business.

In advance of the public launch, EIT Climate-KIC and Seedrs are launching a pre-registration campaign, seeking to anchor investment in an opening cohort of three start-ups. Pre-register to indicate interest and gain early access to the campaign here. Please note that investing in start-ups carries high risk to your capital.

More investment opportunities will follow, as EIT Climate-KIC and Seedrs plan to expand the programme throughout 2021.
