Climate Seeds is an accelerator-integrated fund. It will make two-staged investments in startups that enter its Climate Seeders program.

How Climate Seeds works

Seed Stage

At the seed stage, Climate Seeds will invest INR 25 lakhs (~US$ 35,000) as seed capital in up to 50 startups per year that enter a 5-months Climate Seeders Stage-1 accelerator (the first part of the Seeds program), all of which meet the fund’s mandate and investment criteria, and that

Pre-Series A Stage

At the pre-series A stage, Climate Seeds will make a follow-on investment of INR 1 Crore (~US$ 140,000) in a sub-set of startups from among the original investee cohort that enter a 9-months Climate Seeders Stage-2 accelerator (the second part of the Seeds program), all of which meet the fund’s mandate and investment criteria, and that

FOLLOW-ON NETWORK

Over the course of the Climate Seeders Stage-2 accelerator, the fund will facilitate engagement between the portfolio startups and our network of global follow-on investment partners.

As startups move into the growth stage and are ready to accept Series A capital, we will work with our linked-funding partners (venture capital firms, corporates and project finance institutions) to enable further investment rounds and growth partnerships.

The startups we support are present in sectors representing over 80% of potential GHG reductions, and more specifically in these sub-sectors:
