We're a pre-seed fund investing exclusively in Climate Tech startups. Our value proposition to founders is our 3 Pillars or support: €250K Cash Investment, Hands-On Operational Support via our partner Founders Factory, and Non-Dilutive Grant Support.
What stage are we focused on?

We're looking for founders with a product in (or nearly in) market with some traction, typically at pre-seed to seed-stage in funding. If you are at that stage and are ready to leverage our expert team, now's the right time.
What are the investment terms?

We offer a €250k cash investment. You will receive six months of hands-on operational support along with ongoing partnership support for life. We provide assistance in securing equity-free additional financing through grants. By joining us, you become part of a global community of over 300 founders and thousands of investors, gaining unrivaled access to leading decision makers across industry, government, and academia. You'll have ongoing opportunities for events, education, and peer-to-peer networking. Additionally, you'll have access to our playbooks, tools, resources, and exclusive perks. This support is provided in exchange for a minority equity position, depending on the stage of your startup.

Together with the Founders Factory team, we provide support across strategy, ops, biz dev, product, design, tech, growth, PR, brand, fundraising, and talent. We're not afraid to roll up our sleeves in the short term while you build your team if it means you'll move forward, faster. You'll also have access to our global network of corporate partners, brands, investors, and fellow founders from day one.
Is G-Force focused on the U.K. or Europe?
