The Problem

40,000+

early-stage climate teams globally

<20%

use economic analysis to guide R&D

$35B+

in climate capital at risk without TEA

Climate breakthroughs don't fail because the science is wrong. They fail because the economics are missing. Most early-stage teams lack the guidance to build credible techno-economic models.

How It Works

1

Scope

We understand your technology, market, and what decisions TEA needs to inform.

2

Build

Hands-on modeling sessions. Your team builds the TEA — we guide the process.

3

Validate

Sensitivity analysis, assumption stress-testing, and preparation for investor conversations.

What Our Clients Say

The team's insightful questions and guidance were instrumental in developing our TEA model, which we still use and build upon today. Our collaboration ...not only focused our efforts but also revealed key metrics that have since shaped our R&D trajectory.

Working with Jesse/Recursion Works was a fantastic experience. They have an incredible understanding of what a start-up's capabilities and needs are and ensure that the whole team gets a better understanding of their own technology's potential. I'd recommend working with them to any startup (and I have done this repeatedly).
