Where portfolios stall
In energy, agriculture and critical resources, the technology usually works; what stalls the return is commercial. We pair great capital with a great commercialization engine, and back the companies where our operators and network create outsized returns.
Who we are
ClimateDoor Partners is funded entirely by its founders and partners. We do not just advise the companies we back, we take equity in the ones we scale, and the same engine that lands their customers and closes their deals compounds our ownership.
We bring aligned outside investors into select holdings to scale them.
There is nothing more strategically aligning, in our view, than ownership. It is how we choose to work with our investment partners, side by side in the same companies.
We are always looking for our next strategic investment and partnership.

How we create value
We get in early, build the story and the commercial engine, and compound alongside our partners. The figures below are management estimates shared for discussion, not a valuation or an offer.
We backed Henrik at the prototype stage, three units in. We convened a $2.71M strategic round across aligned VCs, including Aaron Stuart, who we suggested and helped place on the board, plus a strategic investor, IFR Holdings, a nine-figure manufacturer that brought complementary manufacturing capability. We built the market story for investors and customers, the first websites, and the sales strategy. About eighteen months on, the latest round priced at 2.61x the entry. Today Henrik is demonstrating 80 units at the FIFA World Cup 2026 for one of the world’s largest beverage companies, and working toward strategic growth and exit options.
Round value, 2.61x
$2.71M in, ~$7.07M today. Includes a ~$1.6M strategic check from IFR Holdings. Draft, pending confirmation.
We invested when Stardust had four franchisees in 2022, and have backed every round since, personally and through our network: roughly $0.5M of our own capital and about $2M from our investors. Revenue has grown from about $1M a year to $4.7M trailing, with gross margins up from 28% to 44%. A 30MW project in Zambia could change the company’s complexion. Comparable franchise businesses trade at 7 to 11x revenue; at 7x that implies roughly $35M in fair market value, against our blended entry near a $3.5M to $4M valuation.
Revenue, trailing 12 months
Fair market value is an estimate from comparable franchise multiples (7 to 11x) and suitor conversations, not a formal valuation. Draft, pending confirmation.
Unify is a company we built ourselves. A ten-person team working alongside about 100 First Nations to bring clean technologies to their communities, including Canada’s first fully interactive map of clean-energy projects on First Nations land, and a role in creating Canada’s largest clean-energy park. We are co-development partners across the country, not vendors. In the trailing twelve months Unify did about $2M in revenue, doubling every year for three years, with another doubling projected next year. Wholly owned by ClimateDoor.

Two ways we partner
We love working alongside investors. Sometimes that means growing the companies you already back. Sometimes it means building something new together. Both run on the same alignment: we only win when the companies win.
VCs, private equity, family offices, strategics, and accelerators with companies that need to commercialize.
We embed as the commercialization engine inside your best companies. Our operators and our agentic stack land customers, route partners, and stack capital, and drive each company to its targets.
Companies reach revenue and the next round faster. Marks move up, follow-on de-risks, and your support scales without adding headcount.
Investors who want into our highest-conviction opportunities, on operator terms.
When we take a company into our Partnership bucket, we bring a small circle of aligned investors in to co-invest and scale it with us. Equity, board seats, and skin in the game, shared.
Curated, operator-led deal flow you cannot source cold, already de-risked by the engine. We are in it with you, not selling it to you.
What we drive inside your companies
The same engine that grows our own portfolio is what we point at yours. We earn the cheque by landing real demand first, which is exactly the order that protects your downside.
Real demand before the cheque. We open the procurement door first: utilities, governments, industrial buyers, stadium-scale venues.
The room before the deal. Municipalities, corporates, First Nations, federal and provincial governments, EU and Canadian agencies.
Stacked, not raised. Non-dilutive grants, sovereign co-invest, structured debt, strategic CVCs, follow-on equity. Sequenced after the contract.
$682M+ raised for our companies · 150+ commercial transactions · 5 continents
The unfair advantage
A standard board seat gives a company advice. We give it an operating system. Forty senior operators, multiplied by an agentic intelligence layer, pointed at one outcome: commercial traction.
Forty senior operators, multiplied by the engine to move like two hundred and fifty.
Personal relationships in the network. Warm paths into buyers and capital, not cold lists.
More qualified shots on goal from the same resources, every week the engine runs.
Under the hood
Forty operators and an agentic stack, pointed at one outcome for every company: commercial traction.
Drop in any company you back and we spin up its engine in under five minutes.

To be clear
ClimateDoor Partners is a family office owned by its founders and partners and built on cash flow, with no outside capital to date. That may change. If it does, the investors we partner with today will be the first to know. For now, the partnership is the product, and the alignment is the whole point.
If you have a portfolio that needs to commercialize, or you want into what we are building, there is one conversation to start.
