Accelerating climate impact with open-access tooling & data
De-risk your path to market with tailored techno-economic analyses, grounded in data. Our mission is to help all innovators make better decisions on their journey to commercial deployment.
The Challenge
From our observations, only 1-2 teams out of 10 are regularly accounting for economic impact in their R&D milestone setting, and only about half have a clear sense of commercial viability. As a result, many critical scientific & commercial roadmapping decisions are made based on heuristics and intuition.
Across all early-stage budgets, we estimate over $4 billion is ineffectively allocated toward low-impact R&D efforts, focus on unprofitable markets, and cost over-runs at pilot build-out.
Techno-Economic Analyses are a key lever - but what is TEA?
Like an electrical conductor - it’s the interface connecting the technology and economics together
TEA sets up the integration of scientific breakthroughs into real-world supply chains, and estimates the future cost of a product.
Like a train conductor - it sets the direction and drives the company forward
Based on the relationship between R&D and economics, de-risk the most critical R&D first. It’s not a perfect crystal ball, but it provides a framework for decision-making that you can reference and iterate on.
Like an orchesta conductor - it syncs up the multiple efforts across the company
It's the analytical framework coordinating pilot budgets to IP strategy, R&D to commercial roadmap, so your entire team moves in unison toward commercial viability.
How do we shift the early-stage ecosystem to prioritize TEA adoption?
Free, Open-Access Tooling
Would you drive in a new place without GPS navigation?
Co-pilots are the "Google Maps" to guide teams on their individual journeys from point A to B, whether it's for TEA, life cycle assessment, financial modeling, or more.
Industrials Database
We're building the largest searchable repository of industrials data.
This underlying "map data" provides all of the qualitative assumptions for our tooling, and also serves as reference points for first-of-a-kind projects making a case for bankability.
TEA Coaching & Workshops
We work with innovators 1-on-1 and through ecosystem partners to increase impact.
Our "TEA Coaching" is like driving school -- we put innovators behind the wheel so they can build their own mental models while building their TEA.
