THE OUTCOME

What Success Looks Like

Prepared for Dan Kelly and the ADAR Technologies team. Three outcomes drive this engagement.

Win the Canadian regulatory window

Ontario Phase II EPR, Alberta EPR, Quebec IC&I EPR, and BC's Five-Year review are all activating in 2026. Operators need new processing tech now. ADAR is the only non-thermal, zero-fossil-fuel answer that also preserves nutrient value.

Vertical prioritization across waste, food/feed, and Indigenous communities
10-15 named Canadian prospects with decision-maker mapping
Canadian deck variants for each target vertical

Minimum Win

3 qualified Canadian EaaS pipeline conversations by end of Month 2.

Close the Series A with purpose-driven strategic capital

ADAR is raising $10M Series A and prefers strategic investors over generalist VCs. The playbook already identified 20 capital providers scored 83 to 97 fit, including Plug and Play (97, Hot, Phoenix-based) and Baruch Future Ventures (96, Personal, lead candidate).

Warm intros to top-matched investors
Series A positioning and narrative polish
Project finance track running in parallel for EaaS lease economics

Minimum Win

6 live conversations with pre-qualified strategic investors inside 90 days.

Decide the Canadian entity question and unlock the grant stack

NRC IRAP, SR&ED, BDC Capital, and Emissions Reduction Alberta are all gated on Canadian presence. The customer-facing grant pool (USDA MPPEP, EPA SWIFR, REAP, VAPG, CWSRF) exceeds $168M and converts EaaS sales from cost conversations to subsidized deployment conversations.

Entity structure assessment (US parent vs Canadian subsidiary vs distribution partnership)
Grant eligibility mapping based on entity decision
Customer-facing grant stack packaged into the BD materials

Minimum Win

Entity recommendation memo plus mapped grant stack by end of Week 4.

"It was a challenging environment to raise capital, it was a testament to the heavy lifting put in by ClimateDoor to help us get our initial two fundraises of $2.85M. This company wouldn't exist without our partnership with ClimateDoor. ClimateDoor believed in us, our two teams banded together and we got the job done."
