⚡ HV Capital just published an ESG guide for startups & founders! Great hands-on tips & examples, take a look at https://lnkd.in/eUEvCsa3 (and well aligned with our own ESG handbook aimed at SMEs: https://lnkd.in/esUTk4kt ) 😉

🌍 Is impact the new ESG? Not quite. And it’s critical to know the difference. In 2023, 38% of Nordic VC funding went to impact startups, outperforming the market despite the funding slowdown. But what if we told you that impact and ESG aren’t two ends of a continuum? Yet, we see an extensive spectrum of confusion🤔   At PSV, we see firsthand that impact startups are booming—100% of the MSc in Tech Entrepreneurship projects at DTU - Technical University of Denmark last year were impact-focused. But even though these startups are tackling global challenges like carbon emissions, vital ESG metrics can’t be disregarded 🌱   💡 Curious why? Dive into the whole article in our PSV Paper to explore why ESG might just be the ultimate game-changer for future-proofing impact companies https://lnkd.in/d8qHyhtN   #PSV #PSVventurehouse #Venturehouse #VentureCapital #PSVPaper #ImpactVsESG #Impact #ESG #FutureOfFunding #Sustainability #Ecosystem

I’ve seen so many startups with promising ideas. For those in the environmental sector, here are some key pieces of advice to consider: Scalability: Ensure your solution can grow without compromising its environmental integrity. A scalable model attracts investors and ensures long-term impact. Transparency: Be transparent about your processes and impact. Clear, honest communication builds trust with investors and consumers alike. Innovation: Continuously innovate to stay ahead. Whether it’s adopting new green technologies or improving existing ones, innovation is key to maintaining relevance. Collaboration: Partner with other green companies, NGOs, and governmental bodies. Collaboration can amplify your impact and provide access to invaluable resources. Measurable Impact: Demonstrate how your startup makes a tangible difference. Quantifiable outcomes not only attract investors but also prove your commitment to the cause. By focusing on these areas, environment-friendly startups can not only survive but thrive, making a significant positive impact on our planet. #VentureCapital #GreenStartups #SustainableInvesting #Innovation #Scalability #Transparency
