What does it take to secure funding for asset-heavy, circular
startups? In this episode, Jakob Röskamp, CFO at Traceless
Materials, shares how customer validation builds investor
confidence, why off-take agreements are key to de-risking
CapEx-heavy models, and how combining equity, debt, and grants can
reduce the cost of capital. While this series looks at how VCs
select circular startups, it’s equally important to understand how
startups choose their investors. Jakob shares practical insights on
what that process looks like from the startup side. He also talks
about Traceless’s approach to lifecycle assessments, as well as
managing complexity when scaling a circular solution in the real
world.
