Polaris:
Our Partnership Journey
Our POLARIS offerings provide a straightforward, value-driven path from initial validation to deep strategic partnership; moving through three tiers of engagement.
We're currently inviting select institutions to help build this ecosystem from the ground up.
CHALLENGE
“Financing FOAK projects is a no-man's land. These projects are typically too large for venture capital investors... while still too risky for infrastructure and private equity funds.
This has led to a significant financing gap – the FOAK valley of death.”
— The Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra (from the "Overcoming the valley of death" report).

Polaris: Catalyst
Bespoke Advisory Retainer
Let us demonstrate our value with one high-priority asset. The Catalyst engagement is our premium partnership where we assign a dedicated Brightkey "Pod"—a Portfolio Acceleration Manager, GTM Strategist, and Technical Analyst—to create a tangible success story with you. We address the "missing middle" of climate tech, helping promising companies scale from lab to commercial viability.
The Challenge:
The Series B stage for climate tech saw a 29% decline in funding in the first half of 2025, highlighting the critical "Valley of Death" between early-stage technology and commercial viability. - Latitude Media, 2025
Core Deliverables:
Deep-dive diagnostic of one portfolio company.
Development of a full Strategic Go-to-Market (GTM) Engine.
Deployment of our AI-Powered Sales Automation Toolkit.
Hands-on execution support to secure bankable revenue.
Our Guarantee:
Our success is tied directly to yours. Our compensation is linked to the new revenue we help generate for your portfolio company.
CHALLENGE
“The financial sector has traditionally not been equipped for dealing with uncertainties due to climate change or climate policy: models for risk management in portfolios are based on past, quantifiable risks and are not designed to reflect future uncertainties.”
