Capital and ecosystem for climate tech.
with committed targets: 10 to 20 qualified leads per month, a capital pipeline of USD 1 to 3M and 50+ certified angel investors by the close.
The mandate
CATAL1.5°T accelerated 90 startups with EUR 38M from GIZ and the Green Climate Fund. Its post-2026 model needed a structured capital pipeline, an active investor network and a fundraising strategy.
Context
The program, run together with Tec de Monterrey, closed its first stage with 90 climate tech startups accelerated.
For its post-2026 model it needed something different: a structured capital pipeline, an active investor network and its own fundraising strategy.

In the program
The mandate, in pictures.
The challenge
What needed to be solved.
Sustaining the program beyond its initial funding
The post-2026 model requires diversified sources of capital.
An active investor network
Angels need training to invest in climate tech, not just contacts.
A pipeline with targets
Committed monthly targets for leads and capital, tracked from the first month.
How we did it
Step by step, with deliverables.
Strategic mapping
We mapped private and public donors, catalytic capital and grants aligned with the program.
Fundraising
We generated and qualified leads against a target of 10 to 20 per month.
Angel Investor Academy
We designed a 32-hour academy in four modules to train and certify angel investors.
Capital pipeline
We built a capital pipeline with a target of USD 1 to 3M by the close.
Committed targets
What we committed to achieve.
The mandate is still ongoing. We will publish progress as each stage closes.
Lessons
What we take away from this case.
Training investors also mobilizes capital
An angel academy broadens the capital base available to the sector.
