Testimonials
“Cleantech needs capital. Growth is often limited not by availability however, but by a team’s capacity to translate finance intent into execution. I’ve directly seen Cullen work with numerous teams over the years to close that gap, enabling companies to deliver and finance climate-aligned assets. The Cleantech Finance Blueprint reflects the kind of work founders and developers need to undertake when raising or deploying capital.”

Andy Frank – Sealed
“Cullen was really instrumental in putting the pieces together, explaining what standard term were, different ways we can structure and then actually putting us in touch with potential financiers to make everything happen. We went from a vague notion of an idea to having three term sheets, one of which we ended up moving forward with and the New York Green Bank, to make it happen.”
Chris Cadwell – Carson Power
“he covered everything from project finance valuation of development assets to the corporate model that we used both internally and externally in evaluating capital opportunities. You know, I would say that it was a resounding success in that we got exactly where we needed to be with him as our resource.”
Andrew Lee – Innovia Geo
“Cullen and his cleantech finance blueprint have been a huge help for us since the summer of 2025. When we first met Cullen, we were looking for some help to develop a corporate financial model and plan. Over the course of several months, Cullen worked with us hand in hand to help us build a flexible financial model that right now is helping us plan our near and long-term business objectives and fundraising strategy.”
Jon Moeller – BlocPower
“One day we’d be working on the equity model. The next we’d be working on things like collateral and project financing. Then next day, credit enhancements, loan guarantees, things like that to reduce our cost of capital. So he’s got a pretty good understanding of the toolbox in this space, when and how to use it.”
