Many climate-tech companies are unaware of their ability to claim R&D cash credits against costs funded by an awarded grant - from April 2023, the cash credit relief rate for grant-funded R&D costs increased up to 16.2% (from 10.53%). 

If you're unsure around your eligibility, then feel free to get in touch to see how we can help and ensure you don't miss out on additional non-dilutive funding.

“Yet the wine industry remains wedded to tradition when it comes to packaging, which is the carbon footprint hotspot of wine, giving innovators a unique set of challenges to consider. This is an industry that needs fresh and innovative approaches to sustainability…”

As we approach the close of our 7th fund raise, we think it's fitting to reflect on the performance of our inaugural fund, SA1. Six years on, we are proud to report an 86% success rate, over £70M in additional investments secured, and a notable average 5.2x valuation uplift. 

Here's a snapshot of some of the successes within our portfolio: 

🚀 Rovco: Achieving a remarkable ~41x valuation uplift, raising £47M, and growing to a 90+ person team, Rovco is revolutionising subsea asset management with cutting-edge autonomous underwater vehicle technology. 

☁️ AirEx Technologies: With a ~4.9x valuation uplift, successful £4.1M Series A funding, and 9.5 million kg reduction in CO2 emissions, Airex's smart home ventilation systems are making strides in efficiency and sustainability. 

🌾 DryGro: Boasting a ~5.8x valuation uplift and £5.1M raised, DryGro's cutting-edge plant science offers a sustainable solution for the future of protein. 

Our 7th S/EIS fund has reached over £1M and nears its close. Join us in backing the next generation of climate innovators. Hurry, there is a limited time left to get involved! https://www.seedrs.com/sa7

🧠 This week we gathered our growing, hybrid team at Sustainable Ventures, where we spent two days strategising, celebrating wins, reflecting, and planning for the year ahead. Climate Policy Radar has a lot in store for 2024 -- accelerating our mission to organise, analyse and democratise data on global climate law and policy.

A huge thank you again to Solitaire Townsend for joining our climate tech ecosystem at our London HQ last week. A trailblazer in sustainability, Solitaire’s lunch and learn on ‘How to be a Solutionist’ left our community feeling optimistic and inspired to continue driving positive change.

Our key takeaways included:

💥 If you work in the climate sector, you are a Solutionist. A pivot towards a solutions-driven economy is needed for a sustainable future.

💥 Persuading not punishing. 'It's sustainable' doesn't always work. Communicate the personal, social and financial benefits too.

💥 Enjoy the ride of a career in climate. The sector is still evolving so look for the opportunity not the pathway.

You can check out her book, The Solutionists, for more insights.

Delivering business support programmes to climate tech startups not only accelerates growth, but also creates a skilled green workforce; helping attract further investment into sustainable innovation and a greener future.
