OUR STORY

Scaletech was founded in 2017 by three MIT alumni with a combined 50 years of experience in cleantech operations and finance, including work with multilateral finance institutions, cleantech incubators, and accelerators and as award-winning inventors. From 2017 – 2019, we piloted our approach under the leadership of ImplementaSur SA, a Chilean cleantech advisory. Initially funded by three MIT competitive innovation awards, we incorporated with the support of several major grants, including several EU and state-level funds.

We are currently headquartered in Potsdam, Germany, with additional representation in Cambridge MA, USA.

OUR TEAM

We combine three core types of expertise in building this platform:

  1. On-the-ground knowledge in over 50 markets worlwide based on several decades experience with finance and technical assistance for scaling impact tech;
  2. Expertise in engineering aspects of technology scaling, having designed and taught relevant courses (‘Design for Scale’) at MIT;
  3. Decision Analytics, a method to make complex decisions more transparent, data-driven, and unbiased by the decisionmakers prior knowledge or personal preferences.
