“TheGreenShot has developed a software solution that connects operational costs and carbon footprints in real-time for the film and audiovisual production industry. We've been commercially operational for a year and we joined the Climate Tech Scale programme to complement our existing knowledge and expertise. The Masterclasses, especially the pitching session, gave us this. We learnt a whole new language to explain and present our solution, which, with a complex solution like ours in a crowded marketplace, is vital. It was a real revelation!
We also joined the programme to meet other start-ups for potential collaboration. That’s exactly what happened and we’ve entered into a partnership with Klimate.co, a Danish technology-based carbon removal portfolio start-up to create together a carbon-neutral advertisement production workflow that will enable us to connect to large brands and corporations.
The ongoing support from PwC during the programme was a real bonus and connecting us with other parts of PwC was a great idea.
The Scale programme was an excellent way to get pointers for the next step in a start-up’s development.”
Véronique Pevtschin, CEO - TheGreenShot
"We applied to join the Scale Programme because we were looking to grow our customer base, and we felt that with PwC we’d be able to get access to the kind of networks we need.
The best part for us was meeting the PwC team and forging close working relationships. It was also very useful to go through the pitch deck with someone that we were not trying to sell to - it changed the perspective and helped us to structure it better. My advice to anyone considering applying for the Scale programme: there’s a lot on offer, and as a startup there are also likely to be significant demands on your time, so try to be aware at the outset of what you want to get out of it."
Cameron Epstein, CEO - Inhabit
Looking across the various support programmes for startups, what really differentiated the offering from PwC’s Scale Programme for us was the focus on climate tech. It made it much more efficient to participate in a cohort of startups specialised in climate – and the group was diverse too, with UK, Spain, the Netherlands and other countries represented. It’s basically a community of people in the same boat, facing similar challenges, and learning from one another.
One of the most valuable aspects was the masterclasses, especially the focus on pitching. For some people this is a skill that comes naturally, but no one learns it at school, most of us have learned as we go! The Scale Programme helped us to structure the pitch better, by understanding what information needs to come from it. It’s also very useful to understand how corporates can see what tools startups need in order to grow. It helped us to see what is lacking – and to see the bigger picture.
My advice to other startups thinking about participating in the Scale Programme – don’t get overwhelmed by the workload, but do make sure that you’ll be able to prioritise some time for it every week. It’s really worthwhile, given the quality of the resources that are made available to programme participants.
Oriane Wiser, Project Manager - GSES
“We joined PwC’s Climate Tech Executive event to continue to follow the market evolution on the ESG space and its startups. We weren’t disappointed. PwC did the hard work of filtering out the best startups and I was really impressed by the professionalism of the organisation and the quality of the presentations, the topics selected were spot-on.
We’re a market leader and operate on a B2B environment, so finding a start-up exactly matching or complementing our needs is a big ask. But we didn’t come away disappointed, as we entered into interesting discussions with PwC.
It was easy to attend the event as well; being fully remote meant I had the time to fit it into my working day. I’m looking forward to being invited to future events like this and I’ll be sure to inform my colleagues too.”
