Mouchel – working with investors
Mouchel works closely with the investment community to identify, screen and evaluate investment deal flow across the cleantech sectors. Through TAG we are able to provide an end-user perspective on technologies. This demonstrates market potential and further de-risks investment opportunities. In addition, Mouchel has been able to identify and develop exclusive investment opportunities as a result of our industry contacts.
Cleantech investments totalled $2.9 billion in 2006 and represent 11% of global venture capital industry – the third largest sector overall. The majority of investments are made in renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and many traditional sectors are frequently overlooked. This is often due to the maze of regulatory and legislative drivers, complex operational regimes and conservative end-user clients which characterise many cleantech industries.
By drawing on a resource of over 11,000 professional technical staff, Mouchel is able to identify, screen and evaluate investment deal flow across the cleantech sectors. Through our unique TAG programme we are able to further draw on the operational and market knowledge of end-user clients in a given industry, demonstrating ‘market pull’ for technology solutions.
In addition, our industry presence and contacts allow us to identify and develop exclusive investment deal flow, based on real market needs and opportunities.
