In their recent op-ed for Impact Alpha, Prime Coalition’s Chief Programs Officer, Anna Goldstein, and Senior Associate, Impact, Alban Yau, make the case that catalytic capital only delivers on its promise when guided by careful diagnosis and disciplined design. In their recent op-ed for Impact Alpha, Prime Coalition’s Chief Programs Officer, Anna Goldstein, and Senior Associate, Impact, Alban Yau, make the case that catalytic capital only delivers on its promise when guided by careful diagnosis and disciplined design. They explore why capital gaps are more often rooted in structural misalignment than scarcity, and how catalytic interventions must be intentionally crafted and paired with complementary infrastructure to unlock private participation and enable systems-level change.

Prime Coalition’s Chief Growth Officer Keri Browder shares Prime’s strategies and programs lean into growing interest in climate solutions beyond mitigation

In a recent blog post, Morgan Sheil, Head of Impact at World Fund and Frame Steering Committee member, reminds us: However you choose to assess emissions impact, it’s important to do so with consistency and transparency for honest analyses. In the post, Sheil highlights how resources, like the CRANE Tool and Project Frame’s GHG Impact Resource Dashboard, can support you in these efforts.

Lara Pierpoint, Managing Director of Trellis Climate, was featured in a recent Economist Impact report, Catalyzing Investment for Advanced Energy Technologies. The report highlights how investor appetite for clean energy is growing and enabling technologies like storage and nuclear are gaining traction across global markets. Lara emphasized the urgency of accelerating deployment, noting that “The planet needs a rapid buildout of existing technologies, at a much faster pace than we are currently building.” The report, supported by the EFI Foundation, draws on insights from 300 global investors and explores the catalytic mechanisms needed to unlock private capital for critical clean energy solutions.

Prime Coalition was recently featured in Impact Investor's article, “The Three Pathways to Impact Investing Additionality”, written by our good friend Michael Brown, the head of research at the Impact Investing Research Lab, a division of the Wharton ESG Initiative. The piece highlights Prime’s catalytic investment approach as an example of the "Sacrifice" pathway, where impact investors accept elevated risk profiles to unlock climate impact that conventional capital often overlooks.

Trellis Climate’s Lara Pierpoint spoke with Jeva Lange about how Trellis’ donors are facing the increasingly complex landscape for those committed to advancing climate solutions.

Project Frame’s approach to emissions impact attribution was featured alongside other industry leaders and standard-setters in an opinion piece published by Impact Investor. 

Prime was featured in Sightline Climate’s 2024 Climate Capital Stack and New Funds report as a key player in catalytic capital. The report examines the evolving ecosystem of climate finance, highlighting how different types of capital—ranging from VC to later-stage and project financing—support climate tech startups as they scale. Catalytic capital plays a critical role in bridging early funding gaps by prioritizing impact over financial returns, accepting greater risk or concessionary returns to help climate solutions reach commercialization.

Net Zero Insight’s 2024 State of Climate Tech Report is here—and it’s their most comprehensive one yet, including an interview with our Director of Impact Accountability and Director of Project Frame, Keri Browder, who shares key industry trends, challenges and opportunities.

New Private Markets highlighted Project Frame in its coverage of the Impact Convergence Forum for Private Equity (ICF), a newly formed group working to standardize impact measurement. The article notes that ICF, which includes a steering committee of 10 organizations, is collaborating with Project Frame to drive consistency in how GPs and LPs measure and report avoided emissions, bringing greater clarity to impact quantification across the industry.

A new paper from The Global Impact Investing Network, Climate Solutions Investing in Review: An Analysis of Key Issues and Recommendations for an Investment Framework, features Project Frame’s pre-investment methodology guidance and the CRANE tool.

This paper highlights existing frameworks that support investors who strive to invest in climate solutions with the real potential for reducing or avoiding future emissions and identifies key opportunities for moving forward.
