Updraft. The lift your next round needs.

Updraft is the Series A and B fundraising program by Climate Insiders. For six weeks, a senior team led by Yoann Berno works inside your company on the round and on what investors will test: strategy, capital stack, story, deck, data room, outreach, pitch, leadership and communications. Then we stay monthly until the round closes.

Venture-backed climate, energy, industrial, materials, food and deeptech companies raising a Series A or B, typically €5M to €50M in equity, debt or both.

No. You raise it and stay in charge. We prepare you, run the machinery around you and open doors where the fit is real. We are not a broker or placement agent and never take a cut of what you raise.

A fixed fee for the six week program, agreed in writing before we start, then an optional monthly retainer you can cancel any month. No success fees.

No one honest can. We commit to the work: a strategy that holds up, diligence-ready materials, a targeted pipeline and senior people in your corner every week.

Yes. Yoann leads every Updraft engagement, runs the weekly session and joins the calls that matter. That is why we take a handful of companies at a time.

A private, monthly circle for the CEOs and executives of companies we work with. Real terms, real numbers, peer introductions. Included while you work with us.

You pick a 30 minute slot straight away. On the call you get an honest read and a clear yes or no. If yes, you get a written plan and fixed fee within 48 hours.
