Climate Investor Matcher
Filter by sector, stage, and geography to get a ranked shortlist of investors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers on how this investor shortlist tool works.
What is the Climate Investor Matcher?
It’s a tool that helps you generate a ranked shortlist of climate investors based on your selected sector, funding stage, and country preferences.
How does the investor ranking work?
The ranking is based on keyword matching between your selected sector/stage and each investor’s description, plus optional geography filtering. It’s designed for speed and discovery rather than perfect precision.
Is this a complete list of all climate investors?
No. It’s a curated database that grows over time. Some investors may be missing or have limited details, especially newer or smaller funds.
What should I choose for “stage” if I’m raising pre-seed or seed?
Pick the closest stage to your current round. If you’re unsure, test both pre-seed and seed — many climate funds invest across adjacent stages.
What if my sector is niche (e.g., MRV, carbon capture, circular economy)?
Start with a broader category first, then narrow down. Many investors describe themselves broadly (e.g., “climate software”, “decarbonization”), so broader filters can surface relevant matches you’d otherwise miss.
Why do I see investors from other countries?
Some funds invest globally or across regions. If you want strictly local investors, set the Country filter to your target geography.
Can I share my shortlist with my cofounder or team?
Yes. Use the “Copy share link” button — the URL includes your selected filters so anyone can open the same shortlist instantly.
Does this tool guarantee that an investor will invest in my startup?
No. This tool helps with discovery and prioritization. Always review each investor’s thesis, ticket size, and portfolio fit before reaching out.
