For Investors & Donors

Back Climate SolutionsThat Clear Diligence

Risk capital or catalytic grants — two ways in, one working pipeline.

Invest in startups that have been through structured acceleration, or fund the fellowships, research, and field programmes that build the ecosystem underneath them.

01The fork

Two Ways to Back Climate

Invest

Risk capital for climate innovation

Curated deal flow from accelerator cohorts, demo days where founders present, and co-investment alongside Climate Angels — the ecosystem’s SEBI-registered Category-1 angel fund.

  • Co-investment

Catalytic grants that build the ecosystem

MEF is 12A and 80G registered — donations earn Indian tax receipts — and FCRA-cleared to legally receive foreign contributions. Grants fund fellowships, research, and field programmes.

An Ecosystem That Has Done the Work

MEF is the research and non-profit arm of the GoMassive ecosystem — working alongside Climate Angels, a SEBI-registered Category-1 angel fund, and GoMassive Innovation, its incubation platform. Deal flow here is not sourced from a form; it is the output of accelerators that have been running since 2021, co-hosted with institutions like UNEP and AWS.
