Zeti secures £5 million series A investment from HYCAP Group to accelerate clean transport solutions #Zeti, the London-based innovator in #fintech for clean transport adoption, has announced a significant £5 million Series A investment from #HYCAP Group, a leading UK-based net zero energy transition investor. This funding marks a crucial milestone in Zeti’s journey towards making sustainable transport solutions more accessible and cost-effective for businesses of all sizes. Founded by Daniel Saunders, Zeti has quickly established itself as a leader in providing flexible financing for low and zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure. With a mission to drive the transition to clean transport, Zeti has developed the Zeti Hub, a digital platform offering a pay-as-you-use model and real-time sustainability reporting. The £5 million investment from HYCAP Group will allow Zeti to enhance and expand the distribution of its pioneering Zeti Hub platform. This platform is designed to provide a fully financed and integrated Transport as a Service (TaaS) solution, making it easier for businesses to adopt clean transport solutions. The Zeti Hub has already onboarded over 4,500 vehicles, reflecting the growing demand for Zeti’s fintech solution. Scott Lanphere, Chief Investment Officer of HYCAP, highlighted the strategic fit of Zeti within HYCAP’s portfolio, stating, “Zeti represents the future of energy transition asset management, combining SaaS, financial payments, and hard asset reporting.” Jo Bamford, Chairman and founding partner of HYCAP, added, “We have been struck by the energy and enthusiasm of the Zeti team and the scale of their ambition to drive decarbonisation in transport.” Want to stay up to date with the market?

Carbon And Emissions Startups Set New Record For Vc Funding Climate-tech startups focusing on carbon and emissions technologies raised a record $7.6 billion in VC funding in Q3, surpassing the previous high by $1.8 billion. This growth is fueled by mega-rounds and government incentives, such as the US Inflation Reduction Act, which supports decarbonization efforts. Key areas of investment include green hydrogen, EV supply chains, direct air carbon capture, and renewable grid infrastructure. Despite a general VC slowdown, carbon and emissions startups have maintained steady valuations and deal sizes, driven by the urgency of climate change and federal support for renewable projects. https://zurl.co/OzqL Comment, Like, Share, Subscribe...

👀 EU CLEANTECH DEFIES GLOBAL HEADWINDS - READ OUR QUARTERLY BRIEFING 👀 European cleantech continues to deliver! While the total number of deals dipped slightly compared to last quarter, the amount of money flowing into cleantech grew notably, from EUR 1.8 billion in Q1 2023, to EUR 2.8 billion during Q2 2023. EU cleantech investment outperformed both the US and Asia Pacific, with deal sizes increasing notably and late-stage investment increasing by 104% since last quarter.  Policymakers in Brussels are charged with delivering the Green Deal Industrial Plan (#GDIP), while sustainability policy is simultaneously under siege from some quarters. If EU institutions allow the laser focus of the Net-Zero Industry Act on strategic clean technologies to be broadened to the whole economy beyond #cleantech, we risk squandering our competitiveness in the global cleantech race.   Read our briefing to learn more about:  📈 How EU cleantech investments grew compared to other economies  🏛️ Our mid-year review of cleantech policy developments in Brussels   🔌 A sector spotlight on EV charging   📋 Our stock-taking of forthcoming policy  🤝 Top deals this quarter, including news from investors such as Aster Venture Capital, Convent Capital, Eurazeo, Just Climate Pale blue dot, Rivage Investment. We also look at fresh capital raised for promising early-stage cleantech startups such as Ascendance Flight Technologies, Citron®, Enter, Exazyme, FERNRIDE, Prewave, SiPearl, Woodoo, as well as new rounds for scaleups such as 1KOMMA5°, DRIVECO, Energy Dome, Ingrid Capacity, JOLT ENERGY, Northvolt, SustainCERT, Virta Ltd, Weev, and Ÿnsect. As key policies for cleantech are debated, we need to ensure that their scope remains focused on scaling impactful and proven clean technologies. Cleantech for Europe will continue to work with its coalitions and partners to ensure that the voice of the cleantech community is heard loud and clear by policymakers. Is there anything you’d like us to cover next quarter? Please tell us in the comments below!
