Investment thesis
Keenest positions itself as the first investor club dedicated to the decarbonation megatrend, giving individuals access to selected climate innovations before broad adoption becomes a necessity. It curates what it calls the top 1% of projects with massive, scalable decarbonation potential and validated go-to-market, targeting an annual return of 10-15% with VC-style investor protection clauses. Impact is tracked via its 'Climate Dividends' indicator, where one dividend equals one tonne of CO2-equivalent avoided. The platform offers tax advantages (up to 50% deduction, JEIR/PEA/PEA-PME eligibility), charges financed projects no variable fees, and provides 360° fundraising support alongside an engaged community of investors focused on Europe's climate transition.
