Developing a high-quality Blue Carbon project is an amazing feat. But it is not enough to achieve impact. The impact will only become real if and when the project raises sufficient funds to implement its vision.
Due diligence is a detailed review that investors or funders do before deciding to invest in a project. Investors typically want to make sure the project is legitimate, well-planned, and financially sound before committing their money. A due diligence can be perceived as a health check of the project.
Our latest module is built to help project developers navigate that critical next step of going through an investor’s due diligence. In this module you’ll learn:
📋 What do investors actually look for?
📁 What goes into a data room?
