We are excited to host a highly oversubscribed "FOAK & CapEx" financing event tomorrow, where we’ll demystify how capital-intensive startups building green solutions can secure funding to scale their #FOAK solutions. The curated group will hear from experts who have trailblazed the FOAK path: Gustav Bolin, Partner & Leader of Green Business Building for the Nordics at McKinsey & Company, will discuss the opportunities and challenges of hyperscaling climate tech, synthesizing learnings from McKinsey & Company’s experience with leading European unicorns and decacorns. Tobias Lechtenfeld, Executive Director at Tech for Net Zero and Partner at 1.5° Ventures, will share insights on de-risking hardware. Gregor Burkart, CFA, Head of Structured Finance, and Viktor Wingert, Co-Founder at HV Portfolio company Enpal, will talk about debt financing and the role of #SPVs. Philip Kessler, Co-Founder at TURN2X, is set to discuss the option of financing your FOAK plant with your customers. David Hanf, CFO at DePoly and former CFO at HV Portfolio company thermondo, will discuss the different pieces of the broader FOAK puzzle. The current funding gap for startups looking to prove their technologies at scale makes it incredibly important for the entire ecosystem to work together on financing solutions. VCs have an important role to play, both by developing know-how and financing capabilities and by forging multi-stakeholder relationships that can support startups throughout their journey. Stay tuned for more insights following the event! Cc Jan, Maxi, Maximilian, Fabian, Jannis, Maurits
