Webinar – Strengthening early-stage support for PURE companies report

This first webinar will share findings from the recently published Scaling Potential: Strengthening Early-Stage Support for PURE Companies report and explore what they mean for PURE companies, funders, investors, technical assistance providers and other ecosystem stakeholders.

Hear from speakers including Hannah Mottram from Energy Saving Trust, Tamara Kalunda from Open Capital Advisors, Bowofade Elegbede from Acumen and Jussi Viding from EEP Africa. Together, they will share perspectives on the research findings and what they mean for strengthening support for PURE companies.

Drawing on data from the CROWD platform and consultations across the sector, the report examines the current support landscape for PURE companies, identifies key challenges and highlights opportunities to strengthen support for businesses at different stages of growth.

This webinar marks the beginning of a broader conversation. A second webinar, planned for early 2027, will share progress on implementing the report's recommendations, including updates from CROWD taskforces and examples of collaborative action across the sector.
