FAQs
Your Questions Answered
What is Partners in Clime?
We are a Business Angel Club located in Germany - focusing on European Green Tech startup investments.
Is there a membership fee?
No, we don't charge a membership fee at the moment.
If you decide to invest with us, we'll charge a 5% investment fee on top of the amount you invest and a 20% performance fee (carried interest) on any returns.
How do you measure impact?
We are usually looking for direct impact unit economics (IUE) when evaluating startups in our deal flow.
The IUE ideally represents a singular north star metric that reflects both the startup's economic and ecological progress. When this metric shows positive development, we know the startup is healthy and increasing its impact.
Example: Senera.bio produces cell-based, real milk in bioreactors. One liter of milk produced this way has significant ecological benefits compared to traditional milk production (land use, methane, energy cost, ...). The amount of liters sold also directly correlates with Senera's business success. Our impact unit economic for Senera is therefore liters of milk.
How are investments structured?
We structure our deals using Aquaty.capital's legal framework:
You'll get Equity Participation Rights for the your individual investment you've made into a Startup.
Partners in Clime Ventures GmbH – a 100% subsidiary of Partners in Clime GmbH – will become shareholder of the startup company and sign all legal contracts.
Is there a minimum, I need to invest?
You must invest at least EUR 10,000 to join a deal.
There is no annual minimum investment requirement for Investment Partners, allowing you the flexibility to select only the deals that interest you.
