Denne finansieringsmulighed er i øjeblikket beskrevet på engelsk.
PT1 provides early company capital and access to financial, strategic and industrial networks. Funding can be provided in exchange for shares, which give the investor part ownership of the company, or through an investment agreement tied to the company’s shares.
PT1 says it takes the lead, alone or alongside other investors, in funding rounds of up to €4 million. That describes the full round, not a published ceiling for PT1’s own contribution.
The climate-relevant part of this offer includes clean energy and electrification, lower-emission buildings and climate-risk technology. PT1 also invests in broader technology themes, so founders should show how their solution contributes to the climate transition or resilience.
Eligibility
The offer targets early-stage technology founders and companies across Europe. Fund II focuses on technology-driven changes to real estate, construction and urban systems, including related climate technologies.
For Fund I specifically, PT1 allocates at least 75% of the money committed to that fund to companies domiciled in Western and Central Europe; its non-European companies must have a US registered office, meet applicable regulatory requirements and focus their main activity on Europe. Fund I also excludes direct investment in property; it invests in technology companies.
Fund II excludes illegal economic activity; financing, production, trade or enabling activity involving weapons, military equipment, armaments or ammunition; gambling and betting; eroticism and pornography; and software intended to enable illegal access to networks or illegal downloading of data.
Expect questions about environmental, social and governance risks before investment and checks on management, employee relations, pay and tax compliance, followed by ongoing monitoring.
