Climate Tech Startups & Funding

•

$300M “All Aboard Coalition” Fund Launched

A group of top venture capital and private equity firms, managing $60B in assets, has launched a $300M fund to bridge the “valley of death” for climate-tech startups. Led by TED’s Chris Anderson, the fund targets rounds of $100–200M to help companies scale from pilot to commercial operations, addressing the persistent “missing middle” in climate tech financing.

•

Global Climate Tech Funding Slump

Q2 2025 saw global climate tech funding fall to $5.9B, the lowest quarterly level since 2020. Early-stage funding dropped sharply, with seed deals down 12.8% and Series A down 12% in the US, while later-stage rounds (Series C/D) surged 33.3%.

•

US Climate Tech Investment

$15.3B was invested in US climate tech in H1 2025, up from $11.4B in H1 2024, but capital is increasingly concentrated in later-stage, technology-ready companies.

•

Non-Dilutive Support

Venture For ClimateTech accelerator is running its 2025 cohort, offering up to $50,000 in non-dilutive funding and hands-on support to global climate innovators, with Demo Day scheduled for NYC in September.

Climate Policy & Regulatory Shifts

•

Policy Headwinds

The Trump administration has rolled back many Inflation Reduction Act incentives, creating challenges for renewable energy and electrification. However, some federal and state-level support remains.

•

Global Momentum

Despite US cutbacks, global climate policy continues to advance, with the EU Green Deal and APAC net-zero initiatives driving investment and regulatory action.
