Quick answer
Clean energy companies raise money from climate-focused venture funds, angels, corporations and infrastructure investors, and projects are often funded separately through project finance. Government incentives can improve the economics, but investors still expect a clear path to profit without relying on them alone.
Clean energy covers two quite different kinds of investment. Technology companies developing new products, such as better batteries or software for the grid, raise equity much like other startups. Projects such as solar farms or storage installations are usually financed with a mix of equity and long-term debt, secured by the project's expected income.
PitchStreet lists clean energy, sustainability and climate tech ventures raising money, and investors interested in the energy transition.
Ways clean energy gets funded
Venture capital and angels for new technology companies
Project finance: loans and equity for specific installations, repaid from the power or savings they generate
Strategic investment from utilities, energy companies and manufacturers
Government grants, loans and tax incentives, which vary by country and change over time
What climate investors look for
Investors want a technology or business model that can compete on cost, a credible route to large-scale deployment, customers or offtake agreements, and a team that understands the regulations and permitting in its markets.
If incentives are part of your plan, show how the business performs under different assumptions. Policies change, and investors discount plans that only work with one specific subsidy.

Who invests in clean energy startups?
Climate-focused venture funds, angel investors, corporate venture arms of energy and industrial companies, and impact investors. Infrastructure funds and banks finance larger projects.
What is project finance?
A way to fund a specific asset, such as a solar farm, where lenders and investors are repaid from the income that asset generates rather than from the developer's balance sheet.

Incentives can help, but investors prefer plans that still work if policies change. Show your numbers with and without them.
