We will source our deals through a variety of methods, some include:

Through the CTO Network:

• Syndicate members work every day in the industries in which we invest and are uniquely positioned to discover, evaluate, and introduce investment opportunities
• Members of the syndicate are tasked with sourcing opportunities and are incented to do so through a reduced carry mechanism.
• Network effects (our members’ connections) gives us unique access to the climate tech ecosystem
• Because of the strategic value-add of the CTO Network, we can provide strategic value to companies through our network and support early product-market iteration and feedback as our members are relevant and prospective target customers

Through syndicate leads’ networks, including but not limited to:

• Early stage climate tech funds with which we have formal and informal relationships
• Referrals from entrepreneurs we have previously backed
• Accelerators such as Y Combinator, Alchemist Accelerator, 500 Startups and more
• Other syndicates we have strong relationships with

We plan to syndicate all climate tech deals that meet our criteria, pass diligence, and we have sufficient allocation in.
