A new platform is launching to support up-and-coming EnviroTech entrepreneurs.
The Green Techpreneur has partnered with ClimateTech investor database Climate Marketplace to support and link green technology startups with investors.
The Green Techpreneur community platform was founded in 2021 by journalist-turned-entrepreneur Marianne Lehnis to create opportunities and level the playing field for founders and companies making outstanding contributions to society in their efforts to fight the planet’s toughest battle – the climate crisis.
Originally designed as a platform to highlight the incredible work of ClimateTech founders, it has expanded into a multi-purpose platform touching numerous facets of startup growth.
The new platform offers consultancy-level support to help founders better understand the investment climate in which they sit, connecting them with suitable investors.
“The Green Techpreneur exists to make a big impact for ClimateTech entrepreneurs and accelerate their journey to launch and scale,” said director and CEO Lehnis.
“We are truly excited to be joining forces with our sister company Climate Marketplace in a partnership we know will help ClimateTech startups all over the world with their fundraising efforts.
“ClimateTech businesses and innovation will be what saves us from climate catastrophe. We’re here to ensure startups get the support and resources they need to succeed.”
James Burford, director at Climate Marketplace, commented: “Partnerships such as these can be that final, elusive piece of the puzzle teams are looking for to access the next level. The Green Techpreneur recognises the roles networking and exposure can play in a ClimateTech startup’s journey.
“Against a backdrop of deeply-shared values, this partnership has the potential to truly elevate teams, allowing them the space to get on with the business of saving the planet.”
