In the clean technology sector, innovation is thriving—but many promising technologies still struggle to reach commercial scale. In a recent interview with IDG, Akshay Dubey, CEO of CVW CleanTech, sat down to share how the company is addressing this challenge head-on with a financing model that’s both proven and tailored to the unique needs of clean tech ventures.
A Persistent Gap in Clean Tech Financing
Over the past few decades, the world has seen an explosion in clean technology innovation. Patent filings alone have grown tenfold since the 1990s. Yet despite this momentum, many companies face a familiar roadblock: a lack of access to capital at the most critical stage of their growth journey.
As Akshay Dubey explained, there’s a well-documented financing gap between early-stage development (often funded by venture capital) and full-scale commercialization (typically supported by private equity or public markets). This “missing middle” has left many clean tech companies stalled at the pilot stage.
CVW’s Solution: A Clean Tech Royalty Platform
CVW CleanTech offers a compelling solution by adapting a royalty financing model—commonly used in the mining and oil & gas industries—for the clean tech space. Instead of investing directly in companies through equity or debt, CVW provides non-dilutive capital in exchange for royalties on future revenues.
This approach offers two key benefits:
- For entrepreneurs: It means access to growth capital without giving up equity or control, and without taking on restrictive debt structures.
- For investors: It provides diversified exposure to a portfolio of vetted clean technology opportunities, with lower risk and strong long-term upside potential.
Dubey emphasized that CVW’s model is “fit for purpose”—built to support companies that are rich in intellectual property, strategic partnerships, and commercialization plans, even if they don’t own physical resources like land or minerals.
Momentum and a $550M+ Pipeline
After successfully executing its first royalty transaction in 2023, CVW has been focused on building a strong pipeline of opportunities. Akshay shares that the company now has over $550 million in royalty opportunities under evaluation—demonstrating both the demand for its model and the scale of its ambitions.
“We’re operating in an opportunity-rich environment,” Akshay noted. “We’re the first mover in this space, and we’re focused on building a platform that supports clean tech innovators while generating strong risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders.”
What’s Next for CVW CleanTech
Looking ahead, CVW plans to continue deploying capital into promising clean technologies, diversifying its portfolio and expanding its reach. The company is targeting deals that are not only financially attractive but also aligned with the broader mission of accelerating the clean energy transition.
With a strong foundation in place and a growing market opportunity, CVW is well-positioned to become a category-defining platform in clean tech financing.
