Leading global startup investment bank, JPIN, launches CleanTech Pitch Day in efforts to bolster GreenTech innovation on global scale
An ever-growing need for renewable sources of energy has given rise to various forms of fresh, innovative technology – paving the way for an increased momentum in CleanTech investments. With its adoption increasingly heading towards mainstream and large-scale usage, investments in ESG, Impact, Clean & Green Tech have continued to surge – UK net-zero tech companies doubling in value from £17.8B to £34.8B in the past year alone.
To support this sector’s expansion, growth and global transition, JPIN, the leading global start-up investment bank, organised a sector focused pitch day on CleanTech to assist with ensuring a sustainable tomorrow. The event served as a platform for CleanTech startups to gain access and forge significant connections with venture capital networks – with an aim to scale their businesses to global levels.
The Pitch Day hosted around 40 global investors who were presented with 12 Seed to Series A CleanTech deals – five from the UK and seven others from across the globe – with a total valuation of over $250M. Alongside leading UK industry players and VCs such as Cambridge Cleantech and UK government initiatives such Act4Green II, over 200 applications were shortlisted through rigorous competition, due diligence, and strong assessment. Backed by renowned venture funds and a global clientele, the 12 startup companies came in with a pre-commitment to the tune of $17M prior to The Pitch Day. With co-investments from the leading oil and gas companies of the US and the UK, JPIN is aiming to raise $50M through this momentous event.
