How much will the Green Tech Fund invest in each startup company?
The Green Tech Fund will tailor its investment to the unique requirements and value propositions offered by each selected project. We look to develop long-term relationships with our entrepreneurs by defining the value we can add to a project not just though financial support, but also by providing mentoring opportunities to team members. In many instances, challenges that a startup faces may be overcome by informed advice rather than just financial support that dilutes the equity of existing stakeholders.
In how many companies will the Green Tech Fund invest?
In as many great projects as we see. We'll add more money to the fund if needed.
How do I submit a business plan for consideration by the Green Tech Fund?
Please submit a brief summary of your business plan online here (paliwoda.com/greentech). We will respond to submissions within two weeks.
Can I submit more than one business plan?
No. We will review one business plan from each project team.
Can I request a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) prior to submitting my business plan?
It is not possible for The Paliwoda Group to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before our initial review of your submitted business plan. If you have concerns about key pieces of intellectual property, please exclude these from your presentation and documentation, and simply note these areas as trade secrets.
What if I'm turned down for funding?
We recognize it takes more than just money to grow a business, so even if we cannot invest funds in your business we may help in other ways. You could be referred to an associate within Paliwoda Ventures who can help you refine your business plan or assist you with moving your business through key operational milestones. We welcome entrepreneurs to re-submit if there are material changes to their business.
Does Paliwoda Ventures provide grants?
No. We require equity in return for funds invested.
