Investing in the infrastructure that makes it possible for every climate breakthrough to be built on sound economics — so capital flows to technologies that can actually change the world.

Fewer than 20% of early-stage climate teams use economic analysis to guide R&D decisions. This means $35B+ in public and private capital is being allocated without rigorous commercial viability assessment.

TEA Commons builds the infrastructure climate scientists have been missing to build TEAs they understand and trust: expert-validated data that replaces months of research; AI-guided tooling that makes rigorous analysis accessible without a commercial background; and a practitioner community that supports teams at every stage of the TEA lifecycle.

With meaningful philanthropic funding, TEA Commons can serve as leverage infrastructure for the $100B+ being deployed into climate innovation — ensuring limited resources flow to economically viable technologies.
