Project or Venture Development Assistance
Description
Business Development Assistance
Our venture/project development services are usually arranged as a package within a tightly defined scope-of-work, which would typically include one or more of the following:
- Capital formation strategy — identify and pre-qualify the optimal source(s) of private or institutional debt finance, sometimes supplemented by private equity investments, subordinated debt, or other forms. Start by using our Readiness & Innovation Navigator (RAIN), then evaluate your options.
- Business planning — we can help develop or polish your project business plan (quite different than a venture investment or startup business plan; review the differences), to ensure that your proposed project gains the backing it deserves.
- Project financial model and cash flow analysis and ratio requirements review
- Transaction de-risking — Risk analysis and mitigation solutions such as securing an offtake agreement, pledges of collateral, credit enhancement (loan guarantee), and for some projects, evaluate the need for available risk insurance
- Management team qualifications (resume/CV) review to capture highlights; identify how to present any gaps
- Structuring transactions, including coordinating with attorneys, accountants and other professionals
- Project search/selection/development: Not yet clear about the project itself? Elements or partners missing? Issues that need to be resolved before proceeding?
- Pre-qualification project evaluation prior to application — assess the degree of fit prior to making a contractual commitment.
- Preparation of documentation — executive summary and presentations, including coaching on delivery, to obtain financing.
We bring diverse industry experience in most cleantech/renewables (solar, wind, hydro, biomass, sustainable food systems, materials), electricity grids and microgrid infrastructure, energy efficiency, waste-to-value, ecological economics, real estate/affordable housing, climate-smart and regenerative agriculture … across the spectrum of technical pathways and business plans from 25+ years. All sectors
What project(s) are you developing? What resources do you need? What’s in the way?
