Portfolio company testimonials

CIimate Investment’s support has been pivotal in enabling us to demonstrate this technology in the field, which is an important step in advancing the technology toward commercialization.

Claude Letourneau, President and CEO of Svante

We need to be able to access the C-level of different companies, and Climate Investment is helping on that front with its member companies, while also having a team inside CI helping us access those decision makers in order to accelerate the path to deployment.

Vincent Sciandra, METRON CEO

From Climate Investment, you get all the benefits of the strategic investor, but none of the downsides, because it is independent, yet you have access to the deeply technical and scientific membership base. Even before investing, the firm was critical in helping us understand the impact we are having on the industry. First and foremost, it was the chemistry of the team, which had a deeply scientific approach to the problem, and a lot of expertise around decarbonization and around how to assess and actually measure the impact.

Raphael Scheps, Converge CEO

The KeyState project is better in innumerable ways because of CI’s investment of time and money. KeyState was taken through the ringer for two years by CI and we are a better project in every way for it.

Perry Babb, KeyState’s CEO

The opportunity to partner with Climate Investment provides the capital and strategic relationships to bring nickel-zinc batteries into new global growth segments.

Tim Hysell, ZincFive CEO and Co-Founder

Climate Investment has been established to look for climate solutions in a serious way. So, it's important to be associated with it... The relationship has been very good since day one.

Tadeu Carneiro, Boston Metals CEO

For us, Climate Investment has provided access to each of its member companies, as well as enabling us to enter multiple different large supply chains, in a way that we, ourselves a small business, would not have been able to do efficiently. And of course, the financing brought to us by CI has helped accelerate our business plan.
