Climatize vs Raizer

Climatize is a U.S. funding portal where you invest directly in vetted renewable energy projects starting at $10. Browse offerings for solar farms, battery storage, EV charging hubs, and energy efficiency upgrades, then fund the ones that match your climate goals while targeting principal and interest returns.

The platform runs through Climatize Earth Securities, an SEC-registered funding portal and FINRA member operating under Regulation Crowdfunding (JOBS Act Title III). That structure lets both accredited and non-accredited investors participate. Climatize vets every project with solar and financial specialists before listing it, and the site reports more than $18 million invested across 42 funded projects.

It fits impact-minded investors who want a tangible connection to clean energy infrastructure without needing a large portfolio or broker relationship. You can sign up on the web or through iOS and Android apps, fund via ACH through Plaid, and track returns as projects pay out on schedule or at milestones.

Raizer is a fundraising platform that helps startup founders get discovered by investors while giving investors a searchable directory of startups. Founders publish a profile with fundraising details, search a large investor database, and run targeted outreach from one place.

The platform adds an investor intelligence layer on top of raw contact data. For each investor, Raizer calculates a Match Score and suggests the best outreach channel, whether email, LinkedIn, or X. Founders can filter by stage, industry, geography, investor type, and diversity criteria, then export contact details as CSV files.

Over 10,000 founders use Raizer according to the company, including teams connected to Y Combinator, Techstars, and 500 Startups. The investor directory lists 149,314+ profiles spanning angels, venture capital funds, family offices, accelerators, and private equity firms.

Raizer also runs a public startup directory and a step-by-step fundraising guide covering investor research, pitch decks, outreach, and warm introductions. Paid plans unlock the full investor directory, contact exports, AI match scoring, and guide access.
