Episode notes

As an entrepreneur looking to raise capital, you'd be surprised to know that the cheque is not the main focus of an opportunity when investing in change and make a difference. It should come secondary to the value you and your team are bringing to the table.

This is the mentality of our guest Manish Nayar, Founder of OYA Ventures when it comes to investing in ventures.

The OYA Ventures team helps entrepreneurs find opportunities to address climate change.

With a background in investment banking and engineering, Manish has used his experience to further the proliferation of companies in the energy transition space.

Investment bankers are at the forefront of how investors perceive, evaluate, and invest in deals.

New technologies, green energy, and climate transition opportunities can be capital-intensive. We discuss how to funding these deals often requires taking a special approach.

You’ll hear about what makes a deal bankable, and the most important relationship you can cultivate with an investor. Manish shares his thoughts on how the clean energy space differs from other fields.

If you want to learn more about how to finance and build companies in the green energy space, this is an episode for you!
