The Situation

novoMOF, a leading innovator in advanced CO₂ capture materials, set out to raise capital to scale its production and accelerate commercialization. To attract institutional investors and meet the expectations of climate-tech VCs, novoMOF needed to professionalize its fundraising process, align deal terms with long-term strategic goals, and ensure clean, investor-ready documentation, without compromising its core mission or team ownership.


Our Approach

Fundraising Strategy & Legal Precision


  1. Investor-Ready Structuring: Guided novoMOF in preparing due diligence, aligning shareholder agreements, and presenting a cap table that balanced incentives with control. 🧩


  2. Termsheet Negotiation: Secured founder-friendly investment terms across a competitive CHF 4.4M round. 🎯


  3. Cross-Border Coordination: Navigated investor requirements from multiple jurisdictions, harmonizing terms under Swiss law. 🌎


  4. End-to-End Legal Execution: Led legal drafting, compliance, and closing documentation to ensure a smooth transaction. ✅


The Impact

Successful raise of CHF 4.4M to expand CO₂ capture material production. Transaction closed efficiently and compliantly, with high investor confidence.


In climate tech, scaling impact demands more than capital, it requires structure. With Alfred's support, novoMOF turned investor interest into actionable funding while protecting its mission, momentum, and team equity.


"Alfred was instrumental in turning our fundraising from a challenge into a catalyst. Their expertise and strategic support made all the difference." Daniel Antti Steitz, CEO, novoMOF AG
