I've always wanted to build something. But sadly, I am not as creative as most people out there. So i thought of something What if, instead of building or innovating something, you buy something that's been built or innovated? And then scale it up. For context: I'm talking about buying the business. So here's the idea: Imagine a PE fund that acquires sustainable green/climate tech startups. Scale it up and sell later at a higher valuation. And here's the catch: we raise the money from middle class families and retail investors. Why Green/Climate tech? Throughout the past year, I've noticed that ESG and sustainable investing hasn't got enough traction. And since most investors look for humongous returns, they often tend to overlook the environmental impact. The main idea of this fund is to promote sustainable practices and decarbonization. And since this industry is slow, expect low returns but not in terms of valuation. What do you think? Is this feasible?

Love the concept of democratizing PE investments in green tech! But here's the reality check - middle class investors often can't handle the illiquidity of PE investments. Most need access to their money within 3-5 years, while PE funds typically lock up capital for 7-10 years minimum. You'd need to solve this liquidity problem first.

Actually, this could work IF structured correctly. Look at what Engine No. 1 did with their VOTE ETF - they made activist investing accessible to retail. The key would be finding the sweet spot between traditional PE structure and retail accessibility. Maybe consider a hybrid model with quarterly liquidity options?

You’re banking on the “feel-good” factor, but it’s tough to sell low returns when greed drives most markets.

See i understand your intention’s pure, but seriously...climate tech is slow, unpredictable, and scaling it isn’t cheap and middle-class investors wouldn't love locking up cash for years with no Tesla-like payoff in sight yaar.

Not everyone’s an inventor, but flipping existing ideas into gold is its own kind of genius yaar. Go for it

What do you all think about sustainable garments? Will you be happy to pay a green premium to buy sustainable fashion ? Is there a need for climate conscious fashion brands in India?
