Is your climate story actually investor-ready?
A 12-minute self-audit for climate and energy founders
Find out whether your story, site, and deck reduce perceived risk with investors, customers, and partners, or quietly increase it.
What the scorecard measures
Five areas, four questions each. Together they cover the surfaces a serious investor or buyer checks before they agree to a first call.
Scoring is simple. Each statement is worth 2 if it is consistently true, 1 if it is patchy, and 0 if it is not true yet. Forty is the maximum.
The five areas
Story Clarity. Can you explain what you do, for whom, and why now in three sentences a board member could repeat?
Room-Agnostic Messaging. Does one narrative hold up with climate believers and skeptics alike?
Proof and Risk Reduction. Is every major claim backed by something specific?
Surface Alignment. Do your site, deck, and founder LinkedIn tell the same story?
Momentum and Visibility. Would a ten-minute search show visible momentum?
What your score means
30 to 40
Strong story, ready to optimize. You have built a solid foundation. Targeted tweaks unlock more investor and customer confidence.
20 to 29
Your tech is ahead of your story. You are close, but a clearer, proof-backed narrative would unlock more raises and deals.
0 to 19
Your story is working against you. You are winning on substance and losing on story. Right now your surfaces may be increasing perceived risk.
