Global data indicates that fewer than 1% of climate projects that pitch to investors successfully secure funding. While the Accelerator attracted high-quality investors, many projects needed structured preparation to convert interest into deployment.
Developed with support from Bridgespan and funded by ELMA Philanthropies and Virgin Unite, the Innovation Fund serves as a catalyst for investment readiness.
Cohort 1 supported 7 projects, while Cohort 2 is advancing 6. Notably, participation from women-led ventures increased from 25% in Cohort 1 to 67% in Cohort 2.
