SPONSOR an AI-Driven Fintech
SPONSOR, the AI-driven fintech startup, launches to triple the climate mitigation industry from USD 2 trillion to USD 5.5 trillion per year.
SPONSOR Launches AI-Powered Fintech Platform to Accelerate Climate Mitigation Projects and Bridge USD 3.5 Trillion Funding Gap.
Luxembourg — SPONSOR, a new AI-driven fintech platform focused on improving climate project success rates, has officially launched to tackle one of the world’s most urgent challenges: closing the USD3.5 Trillion climate funding gap. By connecting governments, development finance institutions (DFIs), commercial banks, developers, and other stakeholders, SPONSOR streamlines the origination, structuring, and financing of the climate mitigation projects critical to achieving global climate targets.
“SPONSOR exists to help the climate mitigation industry unite, collaborate, and rapidly triple in size,” said Michael Grimm, Co-Founder & CEO of SPONSOR. “With just 100,000 project finance experts globally — and all of them at capacity — we need scalable tools to streamline execution. That’s exactly what SPONSOR provides.”
Since its incorporation in January, SPONSOR is already supporting over USD 25 Billion in climate mitigation projects across more than a dozen countries, with new projects added weekly.
By leveraging deep project finance expertise, a global marketplace, and AI-powered productivity tools, SPONSOR dramatically reduces traditional climate project timelines—compressing what typically takes 2 to 20 years into as little as 6 to 24 months.
Platform Highlights:
Scalable & Flexible: Supports everything from local initiatives to national programs. Already advising numerous developers and two national governments and in discussions with many more to help countries meet their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and projects reach financial close.
AI-Powered Project Knowledge: Leverage lessons learned from hundreds of precedent deals through a robust knowledge base, expert advisory services, and AI-powered analytical tools.
Real-Time Deal Execution: Keeps projects on track with cross-organizational collaboration tools such as secure data rooms that support best-practice project structuring and implementation.
Secure Global Marketplace: Connects all stakeholders, increasing revenue opportunities and deal accessibility; do deals confidently with all users required to pass KYC.
