Capital Connections
Match the right capital to the right project.
Capital Connections is where carbon deals get matched, structured, and closed. It works both sides of the market: projects reach the capital that fits, and capital reaches vetted, assessed deal flow.
Curating the right connections
One proven path to close, whichever side you start from.
For developers
- Aligns with investor preferences
- Improves data standards
- Increases capital connectivity

- Efficient, tailored diligence
- Benchmarking of data
- Increased confidence to transact
A verified, qualified flow
Both sides assessed before the introduction.
Today, it takes too long for the right project and the right capital to meet, and longer still to get the deal off the ground, because most deals start from zero.
Kumo sees both sides. It tracks 300+ projects and 100+ capital providers, assesses each one, and knows what each mandate is looking for. Our specialist team manually reviews and proposes each match, so each side starts at the deal that fits.
For developers
Kumo profiles the finance providers, considers which of them your deal fits and what is worth highlighting, and amplifies your reach to a warm investor base.
For capital
Only the deals that fit your mandate; Kumo does the filtering, and the data comes prepared and vetted. Skip chasing information and weak deal flow; go straight to the diligence that matters.
Deal structures designed to close
Structures that make carbon financeable.
Execution is where a carbon deal takes the most resources, and where most stall. Often with no hard assets, standard security packages and standard project finance structures don't work in practice.
Kumo brings the structures that make carbon financeable, proven in real transactions: collateral where there is no asset, optimization of repayment waterfalls, and cover for the downside.
For developers
- Use offtakes and credits as real collateral to decrease financing cost
- Finance off balance sheet (bankruptcy remote)
- Don't over-stress cash flows in the early months
For capital
- Avoid common pitfalls and risk carve-outs
- Ensure you only take the risks you're comfortable with
- Protect your downside: make the journey through credit committee as easy as possible
