Offers strategic insights on relationship-driven fundraising, including diaspora investment, blended finance, and building credibility beyond pitch decks.
The way startups raise money is changing. Climate entrepreneurs especially face a unique challenge: they’re not just selling a product—they’re selling a better future. And to do that, they need more than a slick pitch deck. They need relationships.
What’s Changing?
Traditional venture capital is starting to open up to cleantech, but founders still face long timelines, policy barriers, and tech skepticism. That’s where relationship-based fundraising comes in—especially in the Global South.
At Bridgizz, We Help With:
- Building investor pipelines (especially impact and diaspora investors)
- Preparing founders for due diligence
- Matching startups with aligned capital (grants, angels, VCs)
- Negotiating equitable deals
Why Relationships Matter
Investors don’t just back products—they back people. Founders who cultivate investor trust over time raise more and retain more ownership. We teach startups to approach fundraising like they approach partnerships: with clarity, purpose, and patience.
Fundraising Isn’t Just Finance
It’s also communication, alignment, and resilience. With the right support, climate startups can raise smart money that shares their mission—and fuels long-term growth.
