The Missing Middle in Climate Tech

Bridging the financing gap in climate innovation is essential, but much of the capital needed to grow and scale proven solutions simply isn’t reaching the ventures that need it most. To explore this structural challenge, Invested in Climate partnered with Spring Lane Capital for a Deep Dive Series on the "Missing Middle" in climate tech.

In this series, we shine a spotlight on the capital desert between early-stage VC and late-stage project finance, where climate tech and infrastructure companies often struggle to secure growth funding. You’ll hear from pioneering investors, family offices, and ecosystem leaders who are working to close this gap, including Spring Lane Capital, CREO Syndicate, S2G Ventures, Capricorn, Blackhorn Ventures, and more, who bring unique insights into catalytic capital, first-of-a-kind project finance, and the powerful role of families in shaping the future of climate investing.

With stakes this high and trillions of dollars of financing required by 2030 to meet net-zero goals, this series aims to educate, inspire, and mobilize the stakeholders who can transform the Missing Middle from a roadblock into a climate solution accelerator.
