In Episode 18 of Scaling Green-Tech, Katherine Keddie and Matt Jaworski are joined by Cam Ross, CEO of Green Angel Ventures, one of the UK’s leading early-stage climate tech investors.

Cam breaks down how Green Angel evaluates over a thousand companies each year to find those with the potential to deliver both strong financial returns and meaningful climate impact. They explore what makes a great pitch, why founders matter so much at the earliest stages, and how angel networks can help startups navigate the rigours of growth.

The conversation also dives into the realities of scaling climate solutions in capital-intensive and highly regulated industries, and why truly investable climate tech must stand on its own two feet - even if regulation changes. Cam shares top insights on the current funding environment and what founders should focus on when raising capital in 2026.

If you’re looking for the inside scoop on raising capital, straight from the investors themselves, this episode’s for you.
