Senior Advisor – Seed-Stage Cleantech Advisor: Digital Platform Commercialization & Investor Readiness
The Opportunity
ReachX is advising a global organization accelerating island communities' transition to 100% renewable energy, circular economy, and climate resilience — supported by major international bodies including the UN, EU, and IRENA. The organization is preparing to close a seed round, with live investor conversations targeted for October 2026 and investor-ready materials due by the end of September. We're seeking a senior advisor to sharpen the investor narrative, finalize the financial model, and reframe the organization's emerging digital platform into a credible, standalone value-creation story.
Role Overview
* The advisor will work alongside the founding team through an intensive build phase (August into early September) to prepare the company for live investor conversations, followed by lighter-touch support through negotiation and close.
* This is an embedded, fast-moving engagement to work alongside the founders to translate that ambition into something investor-credible.
Key Responsibilities
Business Plan, Narrative & Investor Deck
* Lead a rebuild of the investor deck and develop a compelling investor equity story articulating the company's unique competitive positioning within the global sustainability ecosystem; multiple revenue streams and their scalability; rationale supporting the current company valuation and milestones capable of driving substantial enterprise value creation over the next three to seven years.
Financial Modeling
* Refine the existing model into a credible, integrated dynamic financial model covering the next five years
Value Creation Mapping
* Move the "use of funds" narrative beyond broad allocation buckets into specific, investor-legible milestones and a KPI framework the board and investors can actually track.
Digital Platform Value Creation
* Our client's long-term growth strategy is the development of the digital platform currently referred to as the “Knowledge Hub”
* While the overall vision for the “Knowledge Hub” has already been defined, the commercial model requires development.
* Facilitate structured brainstorming sessions with management in order to transform the current concept into a scalable digital business
* Help define a realistic go-to-market, competitive position, and subscription/pricing model
* Scope a credible PoC/MVP pathway definition and roadmap, not a technical build
* Turn this into a standalone business case that carries real weight in the investor narrative
Ideal Profile
* Experience building, scaling, or commercially modeling subscription-based digital platforms, data/analytics products, or knowledge-driven services
* Direct experience preparing pitch decks and investor materials for impact, climate, or cleantech ventures at seed/Series A stage
* Strong financial modeling for early-stage businesses, comfortable blending public/grant funding with private capital and layering in new digital revenue lines
Engagement Terms
* Phase 1 (August – early September): intensive build — investor materials, financial model, and digital platform business case finalized by mid-September
* Phase 2 (October onward, lighter involvement): negotiation and closing support
* Format: Remote
* Deliverables: revised investor deck + one-page executive summary; refined financial model; digital platform business plan (product, competition, GTM); value creation narrative with milestone framework and KPI dashboard
* Fee: Fixed project fee for Phase 1, with a success fee on close and exclusivity on future rounds as an incentive for continued involvement
Please submit a short note covering:
1. Relevant experience in cleantech/impact fundraising advisory — and any experience with subscription or digital-platform business models specifically
2. One or two examples of comparable work (anonymized)
3. Confirmation of availability to start in early August 2026
