Startup consultant
My name is Dr Ben Lane, and I help emerging clean tech and climate-focused startups build investor-ready businesses.
As a former MD at a leading sustainability consultancy and a co-founder of Zapmap, I provide the support that new and scaling clean tech ventures need to secure investment and grow into mature businesses.


My clients
I work with startups at every stage of the company lifecycle from early ideation and seed funding through to first institutional rounds, Series A/B growth, and strategic exits.
I also partner with impact investors and accelerators looking to assess or strengthen high-potential climate ventures within their portfolios.
My services
My services provide everything startups need to attract and close funding. This includes business model refinement, financial modelling and projections, pitch deck development, investor strategy and targeting and competitive positioning.
Beyond fundraising preparation, I provide ongoing strategic support including market analysis, go-to-market strategy, team structure optimisation, and policy/regulatory navigation to ensure your venture is built for sustainable growth.
