# Pitch Narrative Blueprint — Seed Round for a Climate-Logistics Startup
**Company:** RouteZero (carbon-aware freight routing). **Stage:** Seed. **Raise:** $3M. **Investors:** climate-focused VCs.
## 1. Investor Lens
Seed climate VCs want: a believable path to a venture-scale market, a wedge that's defensible, and a team with logistics + ML credibility. Typical check $500k–$1.5M, 15–20% ownership target. Fast yes when traction shows pull, not push.
## 2. Market Narrative
TAM: $200B+ freight spend; SAM: mid-market shippers with ESG mandates ($14B); SOM yr-3: $90M. Why now: scope-3 disclosure rules + shipper carbon budgets becoming mandatory.
## 3. Positioning
2×2: *ease of integration* vs. *carbon-accounting depth*. Incumbents (TMS suites) are deep but heavy; we're API-first and carbon-native. Moat: proprietary emissions-per-lane dataset that compounds with usage.
## 4. Traction Framing
Show 3 metrics: pilot logos (7), lanes optimized (1,400), avg CO₂ cut per shipper (11%). Frame growth QoQ, not absolute.
## 5. Narrative Arc (13 slides)
Hook → Problem (shippers can't hit carbon targets) → Solution → Why Now → Market → Product → Traction → Model → Competition → Team → Vision → Ask.
## 6. Objection Handling (top 3)
| Objection | Response |
|-----------|----------|
| "Incumbents will add this" | Our data moat + 18-month head start |
| "Is this a feature, not a company?" | API + dataset = platform play |
| "Will shippers pay?" | 7 pilots already paying |
## 7. The Ask
$3M funds 18 months → 30 paying shippers and a Series-A-ready $3M ARR. Use of funds: 55% eng, 30% GTM, 15% data partnerships.

The contingency column is what makes the plan actually hold up.
