Colbridge Ventures is a venture studio and growth consultancy for early stage climatetech firms. For seed to Series B companies, Colbridge partners work as fractional commercial execs to set up the company to scale. This can involve working on the business model, asset financing methods, partnership strategy, sales models, marketing tactics, licensing, scale-up strategy, and fundraising. We also can help with more specific commercial objectives such as to raise financing, international expansion, or M&A. For pre-seed companies, we invest and act as a co-founder to help take the company through to its first institutional round.
