Joel Armin-Hoiland Mobilized $1.6 Billion in Climate Grants | Founder of Climate Finance Solutions

In this episode of NET-0, I speak with Joel
Armin-Hoiland, Founder and CEO of Climate Finance Solutions
(CFS).
With over $1.6 billion USD in grants secured for
clients, Joel is a leading expert in helping climate-tech
companies access large-scale, non-dilutive public funding.


We dive deep into the evolving global climate-finance landscape —
exploring how political shifts in the US are impacting federal
grants, and why Europe’s ecosystem is becoming increasingly
vital. Joel breaks down the importance of an integrated
fundraising strategy combining venture capital, debt, and
public grants, and shares real-world success stories
including projects funded by the EU Innovation
Fund and the US Department of Energy.


If you’re a founder, investor, or policymaker interested in how
climate solutions get funded globally, this episode is for you.
