Grants, Equity, Debt & Infra: Building Your Climate Capital Stack Like a Pro
EQT Ventures and Contrarian Ventures are teaming up for a founder-focused deep dive on how to master your climate capital stack.
From non-dilutive funding to equity, from venture debt to project financing: understanding when to raise what, from whom, and how is one of the most critical skills for any climate founder.
In this session, we’ll break down the capital stack across the startup journey, offering practical insights and hard-won lessons from the field. Expect tips and tactics on:
How to access non-dilutive capital (grants, subsidies, public funding)
When and how to raise equity, and what investors are really looking for
What it takes to unlock venture debt and project finance for scaling hard tech or infrastructure ventures
We’re building on the insights of the Climate Brick framework, helping you decode what type of capital fits your stage, your technology, and your risk profile.
🎤 Featuring speakers from across the capital stack:
Joel Armin-Hoiland (Climate Finance Solutions) · Maxi Pethö-Schramm (HV Capital) · Andreea Constantinescu (Liminal Capital) · François Gaudet (European Investment Bank) · Elisabeth Springer (Citi) · Bill Green (Climate Adaptive Infrastructure)
With closing insights from Robina von Stein & Rokas Peciulaitis (Contrarian Ventures) and Ted Persson (EQT Ventures).
💡 This is a learning + networking event designed for climate founders to walk away with actionable insights, connect with the right people, and ask the tough questions; we encourage you to challenge our speakers during the sessions.
