Your Hiring Woes... Solved!
Most cleantech startups fail not because of flawed technology, but because of preventable business execution mistakes.
Here’s how you need to go about it instead!
Year 1: Foundation Building - Critical early decisions that position your cleantech venture for investment and growth
Year 2: Validation Blueprint - Strategic approaches to proving your technology and business model with minimal resources
Year 3: Structured Scaling - Systems and processes to build as you expand beyond the founding team
Year 4: Market Expansion - Frameworks for identifying and prioritizing growth opportunities that align with your impact goals
Year 5: Strategic Positioning - Setting up your company for major financing rounds or strategic partnerships
And where does team building and hiring sit in it all?
