Starting Point

A ClimateTech company with breakthrough carbon-capture efficiency couldn’t convert pilots into long-term contracts.
 

The CEO feared entering another multi-year R&D loop.

Underlying Structural Problem

The company’s deployment model created a validation deadlock:

• need performance data → need commercial units deployed

• need commercial units deployed → need performance data

• capital sequencing slowed each step

• credibility stalled with investors and governments
   

Strategic Interventions

In 14 days, we rebuilt the capital and deployment spine:

• shifted from sequential validation → parallelised evidence-generation

• reframed the product as industrial carbon-credit infrastructure

• redesigned the commercial architecture for accelerated regulatory alignment

• rebuilt investor narrative around inevitability, not prototype risk
   

Impact

• unlocked 2 government partnerships

• reduced deployment timeline by 41%

• re-rated from “experimental” to “infrastructure” by investors

• valuation uplift projected at +$26M
