Advisory / Raise Lens

More sources of capital. Found earlier.

Raise Lens is a grant and funding search platform for sustainability. Arcmor uses it to find new sources of capital for its project partners, from grants and concessional finance to tenders and impact investors.

How we use it for project partners.

Funding discovery sits within our capital raising work. Each project is screened against what is open now, then the strongest opportunities are pursued alongside its wider raise.

For the Northern Mexico Grassland Carbon Project, we use Raise Lens to screen grant and concessional funding alongside the project’s wider capital strategy.

  1. 01

    Screen

    We screen open grants, concessional and results-based finance, tenders and impact capital against each project’s sector, country and stage.

  2. 02

    Shortlist and match

    We shortlist the opportunities a project can credibly pursue and match each one to the right funder, instrument and timing.

  3. 03

    Prepare and apply

    We prepare applications alongside Arcmor’s wider capital raising, so grant and concessional funding complements equity and debt.

Capital beyond equity and offtake.

Most project partners rely on equity and offtake agreements. Grants, results-based payments and concessional or blended finance can fund early stages, lower the cost of capital and bring in investors who would not otherwise participate.

  • A broader, more resilient capital structure
  • Earlier sight of new funding as it opens
  • Applications aligned with the wider capital raise
