Clean Tech Exits - Help for Cleantech and Climate Tech companies to successfully navigate the journey to an exit, through acquisition or IPO. At Greenbackers Investment Capital we support clean technology that can have an impact on climate change. Ultimately some will seek exits. We are pleased to support Nature Flow Marketing and contribute to the second edition of?Journeys to a Cleantech Company Exit.?This report provides some help as companies proceed with this journey.
Want to know what really drives successful exits in cleantech? The latest "Journeys to a Cleantech Company Exit" report cuts through the noise to reveal what matters most. Looking at real-world cases across fuel cells, energy storage, climate tech, and more, we're seeing consistent patterns. Yes, solid tech matters - but it takes more than that. The companies that made it combined great leadership with genuine market traction and smart go-to-market strategies. But these aren't overnight successes. The study shows exits typically take anywhere from 2 to 11 years, with software and EV sectors now growing at 24.5% and 33.6% annually. Corporate buyers are increasingly driving this growth, racing to hit net-zero targets through strategic acquisitions. At Greenbackers, we're putting these insights to work. With our network of 4,000+ climate-focused funds, we're connecting innovative cleantech solutions to the right investors. Because the reality is stark: without climate security, there is no economic, national, or global security. Curious about the full picture?

Find out more on how we aim to bridge the gap for a more sustainable tomorrow in our #blog post. ?? You will learn about the different perspectives of asset financiers vs. VC and growth investors, how and why we define FOAK broader and why #entrepreneurial investors like family offices may be holding an important key for a succesful cleantech roll-out - and other facts as well. ?? https://lnkd.in/dGuxyuJQ
