Royalty-Based Funding Model for Climate Impact Projects

Overview

Royalty-based funding aligns investor returns with project success by providing capital without equity dilution. Instead of fixed repayments, projects make graduated payments over time using a percentage of revenues, with a predetermined repayment cap.

How It Works

• Initial Investment: Upfront capital for project execution (minimum €25,000).
• Revenue Sharing: 3.25% of project gross revenues are allocated to investor repayments.
• Payment Structure: Increasing semi-annual payments that grow with project maturity.
• Repayment Cap: Payments continue until total repayment reaches 1.4× initial investment or 60 months, whichever comes first.
• Total Duration: 60 months from signing to final payment.

Our Optimized Payment Structure

Unlike traditional models with equal payments or grace periods, our structure provides:

• Graduated Payments: Starting at 8% of investment amount, increasing to 23.11% by final payment.
• Aligned Cash Flow: Lower initial payments when projects are establishing operations.
• Attractive Returns: 12.70% Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and 8.89% annualized return.

Investment Limits

• Minimum participation: €25,000
• Maximum investors per project: 10
• Currency options: Invest in EUR, USD, CHF, INR, BTC, ETH, or other currencies.
• Currency handling: All repayments made in the original invested currency.

Example Calculation

Based on a €25,000 initial investment:

Total Repayment: €35,000 (1.4× investment)

The royalty model allows investors to benefit directly from project performance, with attractive returns while supporting innovative climate impact projects.

Fixed Financing Model for Climate Technology Projects

Overview

Fixed financing provides businesses with upfront capital to deploy climate technology solutions, repaid through structured installments. This model offers predictable and manageable repayment schedules that align with the steady revenue from long-term client contracts, making it ideal for subscription or as-a-service business models.

How It Works

• Initial Investment: Fixed capital provided upfront to cover deployment and operational costs.
• Repayment Structure: Predetermined monthly installments with a clear schedule.
• Interest Rate: Fixed at 6% annually on the initial investment.
• Term: 4 years (48 months), starting when the project becomes operational.
• Payment Consistency: Equal monthly payments for simplified budgeting and planning.

Investment Limits

• Minimum participation: €25,000
• Maximum investors per project: 20
• Currency options: Invest in EUR, USD, CHF, INR, BTC, ETH, or other currencies.
• Currency handling: All repayments made in the original invested currency.

Example Calculation

Based on a €50,000 initial investment at different project stages:

Fixed financing is ideal for climate technology projects with established business models, predictable client contracts, and steady revenue forecasts.

SAFE/Equity Investments for Growth and Scaling Projects

SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) and Equity structures are ideal for growth-oriented businesses preparing for larger funding rounds. These financing options enable investors to participate in the early stages of high-potential projects while providing flexibility based on investment size. For Tenza Climate Solutions' group of companies, these investments are a critical step in scaling operations and positioning for a successful Series A round, targeted to close in early 2026.

Why SAFE/Equity Investments?

SAFE and direct Equity investments provide a flexible, investor-aligned structure for funding growth-stage projects, offering the following advantages:

• Early Entry to High-Growth Potential: Investors secure a position in scaling projects within Tenza Climate Solutions at a pivotal growth phase, prior to valuation increases during a Series A round.
• Future Equity or ROI Realization: SAFE investments can convert into equity at a discounted valuation during the Series A round, or provide a defined ROI through a structured buyback prior to that milestone.
• Reduced Complexity: Unlike traditional equity investments, SAFE instruments avoid the immediate need to establish valuations, streamlining negotiations and accelerating the funding process.
• Aligned Interests: The success of the projects ensures favorable outcomes for both investors and the company, whether through equity appreciation or ROI-based buyback options.
• Valuation Protection: A SAFE position protects all equity holders from premature valuation, allowing the company to reach appropriate maturity and market validation before setting a formal valuation, which benefits both founders and investors by preventing dilutive down-rounds.

How It Works

• Investment Terms: Investments up to €2.5 million are secured through SAFE agreements, providing flexible terms for future equity conversion or buyback options. Investments of €2.5 million and above may qualify for immediate equity participation, with terms discussed on a case-by-case basis.
• Currency options: Invest in EUR, USD, CHF, INR, BTC, ETH, or other currencies.
• Conversion to Equity: During the Series A round in 2026, SAFE investments will convert to equity at a discounted valuation, ensuring early investors benefit from the company's growth trajectory.
• ROI-Based Buyback: For investors seeking liquidity prior to the Series A, a structured buyback option is available, ensuring a predetermined return on investment.
• Variable Investment Options: Tenza Climate Solutions offers flexible investment opportunities ranging from €250,000 to €25 million, with tiered structures based on investment size.

Important Notes

• All examples in the investment model description and resulting from the use of our calculators (see our Offset Estimation Process for more on methodology) should be considered as indicative and for demonstration modelling purposes only.
• Carbon credits pre-purchases, royalty-based contracts, and fixed financing agreements will be executed in standard formats but will also later be represented as blockchain-based digital assets. These assets leverage blockchain technology for transparency, traceability, and security, ensuring each carbon credit is uniquely identifiable and verifiable. After an escrow period, these digital assets can be openly traded, offering liquidity and flexibility while maintaining the integrity of carbon offset transactions. This innovative approach combines traditional funding mechanisms with modern blockchain solutions to enhance accessibility and trust in the carbon market.
• TenzaOne has transparent fees which, with volume, will scale downwards. In the interim they are brought forward during investment offer discussions.
