Cleantech Capital Mentorship 2017

Accelerating Cleantech Investments

What does raising $1+ million dollars look like?

 

Are you an entrepreneur looking to sharpen your pitch and prepare yourself for $1M+ in investment capital? This Cleantech focused installment of the Capital Mentorship Program offers a four-week program for up to 16 cleantech entrepreneurs.

From January 26 through March 7, the Cleantech Capital Mentorship Program is a combination of workshops, seminars, mentor-driven education and peer support that will test an entrepreneur’s investor readiness. Successful applicants will leave this program better prepared for the fundraising process and for deal flow events in Vancouver and elsewhere.

This three-part program begins with an information session about the how the programs works (Strategic Fundraising 101), moves into a three-week intensive workshop series (Cleantech MasterMind Capital Series), and culminates in a highly-curated investment showcase event.

Cleantech Capital Mentorship Program: How it works

1. Strategic Fundraising 101

Entrepreneurs are welcome to attend Strategic Fundraising 101, an intensive 2-hour deep dive into the process of raising capital. This session will provide entrepreneurs with the training, tools, and knowledge to raise the right money at the right time. Through pre-session content made available through Spring’s LMS and panel, entrepreneurs will develop a solid understanding of the process, investment deliverables, and the nuances of getting investor ready.

2. Cleantech MasterMind Capital Series

After attending the Strategic Fundraising 101, entrepreneurs and companies are encouraged to apply for the Cleantech MasterMind Capital series. 16 companies will be selected for the program. The series invites entrepreneurs to dive deeper into the capital raising process and how to prep for it. Over the following 3 weeks, Spring and select partners will facilitate 2-hour sessions to work through investor profiles & funnels, pitch preparation, due diligence preparation, and negotiation skills.

3. Cleantech Investment Showcase

The Cleantech Investment Showcase will feature Vancouver’s most promising tech startups in an intimate and highly curated deal flow environment. The event will match local & international investors with eight Canadian cleantech startups slated for international growth and vetted by a Selection Committee comprised of leading cleantech VCs. Investors will have the opportunity to share their investment theses and to identify co-funding opportunities. The Showcase is part of the GLOBE Forum 2018, the world’s largest leadership summit for sustainable business. Please note that participation in the Cleantech MasterMind Capital Series does not guarantee a spot in the Cleantech Investment Showcase.
