What Makes Climate Deep Tech Investable? A VC Perspective
In this episode, host David Wortmann speaks with Louis Lorrach, Principal at Wind, about what it really takes to scale and fund Climate Deeptech in today’s volatile landscape.
Wind is a Berlin-based Article 9 venture fund investing in early-stage companies at the intersection of climate, energy, and technology. Louis brings both operational and financial experience to the table, and in this conversation, he unpacks how Wind makes sense of bold technologies, long development cycles, and evolving market dynamics.
Louis shares:
🚀 What distinguishes a “fundable” deep tech company from a moonshot
🚀 Why software plays a growing role even in hard climate infrastructure
🚀 How Wind Capital approaches due diligence, capital intensity, and timing
🚀 The realities of scaling physical climate innovation in the EU market
🚀 Red flags in startup decks, and green flags that excite investors
🚀 Why “impact washing” is becoming a due diligence challenge
Whether you’re a founder navigating investor meetings or an LP curious about the next wave of European climate funds, this episode delivers hard-earned insights on building and backing climate tech that actually scales.
