You have a transformative solution, but the path from successful pilots to scalable market adoption is where too many climate ventures fail. The cost of getting it wrong is stalling.
Product-market fit isn't enough. Climate tech requires Product-Ecosystem Fit.
Most climate tech companies focus on achieving product-market fit—and rightly so. After commercial launch, validating the convergence of technology, customer, and market into a solution is critical. These validations turn into paid pilots.
Yet climate ecosystems have multiple stakeholders with competing priorities. Traditional product-market fit addresses the primary stakeholder's priority while neglecting others, leading to stakeholder misalignment. When stakeholders are misaligned, scaling across the ecosystem becomes impossible—leaving companies burning runway on pilots that never convert.
Product-Ecosystem Fit (PEF) resolves these underlying differences by aligning stakeholder priorities across the entire ecosystem. By methodically mapping how the solution addresses each stakeholder priority without neglecting others, PEF integrates all stakeholder goals with solution value to achieve alignment and scale.
Our framework delivers Product-Ecosystem Fit through strategic integration of four building blocks.
Climate solutions achieve Product-Ecosystem Fit by strategically aligning capabilities, partnerships, data, and business models across the entire ecosystem.
Address stakeholder priorities to resolve conflicts and create compounded value across the ecosystem.
Forge alliances that extend your strengths and amplify impact—unlocking channels for accelerated growth and deeper alignment.
Engineer data flywheels that connect stakeholders and create embedded, defensible advantages.
Design metrics-driven, value-based pricing strategies that capture value across stakeholders—ensuring long-term viability with built-in flexibility.
Tarun advised us on our US market entry strategy with work that was critical to our strategic decision-making - particularly his ability to map the market ecosystem and draw upon industry contacts from his network. He brought insights we wouldn't have accessed otherwise.
Tarun took information from multiple industry sources, filtered it through his years in the energy sector, and transformed it into a much clearer view of market dynamics, competition, and barriers to entry. He also helped us understand where our capabilities could differentiate and highlighted strategic options and partnership routes we wouldn't have identified on our own. Thank you!
