For project owners & developers
Financing for projects
that accelerate transitions
StartGreen Capital finances energy and circular projects that contribute to a sustainable, resilient, and future-proof society with commitment and a long-term vision.
Financing as a catalyst
Many projects in the energy and circular transition are technically and economically feasible, but face challenges in securing financing.
For example, because the scale or phase does not align with traditional financiers, (market) risks are difficult to standardize, or stakeholder structures are complex.
StartGreen Capital offers customized solutions to make these specific projects achievable.
Which projects we finance
We finance projects within the energy and circular transition, with a focus on scalability and structural impact.
Energy Transition
Projects in renewable energy, infrastructure, and the built environment that contribute to a robust and future-proof energy system.
- Solar, wind, and energy storage projects (flexibility solutions)
- Grid infrastructure and local energy systems (energy hubs & charging infra)
- Sustainability in the built environment
Phase: from late development to operational (high TRL / proven technology)
Circular economy
Solutions that reduce resource consumption, innovate production processes, and retain value within closed loops.
- Recycling and processing plants
- Circular production processes
- Material reuse and supply chain solutions
Phase: from demonstration to scaling up
Through which funds we finance
Our financing is provided through specialized funds, each with its own focus, strategy, and risk profile.
How we make financing possible
We offer a broad spectrum of financing instruments and combine them where necessary into solutions that meet the specific needs of the project.
Instead of standard products, we develop customized structures in which we combine, for example, equity, junior debt, and senior debt. We tailor this to the project-specific risks, phase, and cash flows.
Particularly for projects where traditional financing falls short, we make projects possible through creative structuring and by providing appropriate financing from public or private sources.
