About ClimaCore
ClimaCore is a clean energy startup focused on developing AI-powered solar infrastructure for urban rooftops. Their mission is to enable smart cities to transition toward net-zero emissions by optimizing renewable energy use at the building level. Their proprietary software analyzes real-time sunlight exposure and energy demand to maximize solar panel performance.
Project Challenge
When ClimaCore approached us, they had:
- A working MVP for their solar optimization tech.
- Pilot installations in NYC public buildings
- Minimal exposure to retail investors
- A funding target of $2 million to expand operations and develop commercial partnerships
The main challenge was to translate their complex tech vision into something that everyday investors could trust and understand.
Our Solution
We partnered with ClimaCore to design a high-conversion investment campaign that combined storytelling, trust-building, and clear financial expectations.
Our contributions:
- Built a custom startup profile page with demo video, deck, founder Q&A, and financial snapshot
- Created a data-driven ROI forecast model for small investors
- Designed a warm, clean visual style aligned with environmental branding
- Integrated investor education content to explain the CleanTech opportunity
- Structured a tiered investment system (starting at $100) to lower the entry barrier
Results
The campaign fully funded within 6 weeks, attracting over 1,500 retail investors, many of whom were first-time backers. Some highlights:
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Funding Goal | $2M (105% funded) |
| Total Investors | 1572 |
| Average Investment | $1,344 |
| Retention Rate | 63% of investors subscribed to future rounds |
| Media Mentions | 9 outlets (including TechGreen and UrbanTech Weekly) |
Impact
Since closing the round:
- ClimaCore has installed solar systems across 12 commercial rooftops in NYC

- Secured a $5M government grant for further expansion
Key Takeaways
