Four ways to work together

I work independently, bringing in trusted experts when a project needs them. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute call to see whether I’m the right fit.

1. Capital and markets for climate tech

Good climate technology often stalls between pilot and scale. It needs capital, partners and customers in new markets, and most climate companies and investors don’t know where to start.

I help you:

  • Enter the market. Find where your technology is needed, identify partners and customers, and set up a proof of concept.
  • Find the funding. Identify and apply for grants, blended finance and development finance that make projects viable.
  • Connect capital to deals. Link investors and funds with climate ventures, and climate ventures with the capital they need to grow.

For: impact funds, family offices, development finance institutions and climate tech ventures scaling into new markets.

2. Climate investing for retail investors

More and more everyday investors want their savings, pensions and portfolios to reflect their values, and women are a fast-growing, often overlooked part of that group. Most financial products still aren’t built for them.

I help you:

  • Understand what retail investors, including women, want from climate investing, and what stops them.
  • Design or sharpen a climate offer, content and community for your retail clients.
  • Run investor sessions or cohorts for your clients, based on the Scan · Shift · Share framework.

For: climate investing platforms, banks, wealth managers and angel networks.

3. Talks and workshops

  • Talks: a range of topics, from She Invests, the World Changes to sustainable returns and scaling climate tech, tailored to your audience. 20–45 minutes.
  • Workshops: Climate Fresk and Biodiversity Collage. Collaborative, card-based workshops where teams map the causes and consequences of climate change and the biodiversity crisis, then brainstorm solutions for their own organisation. The Climate Fresk is based on the IPCC reports and takes 3 hours, with shorter versions for events and lunch-and-learns.
  • Available in person or online.

4. Mentoring for founders

I mentor start-up founders, one to one or through programmes, drawing on 10 years across venture capital, fintech and climate finance.

I help you:

  • Get investor-ready. Sharpen your pitch, your numbers and your funding strategy.
  • Enter new markets. Test where your product fits and find the first partners.
  • Think through big decisions with someone who has sat on the investor side of the table.

For: start-up founders, and accelerators or programmes looking for mentors. I’m a start-up mentor for the European Innovation Council (EIC), including in the EIC Women Leadership Programme 2026.
