SDTC investments translate to economic and environmental benefits
SDTC is an outcomes-based investor, driving impact through the economic and environmental returns of the technologies we fund.
We support companies from seed to success.
With our milestone-based funding approach, our relationship with companies for each project is three to five years. We then maintain engagement through post-project reporting and support, and in many cases see the company return with further innovations as they continue to grow.
Economic Benefits
We use two primary metrics to measure the economic benefits from our funded companies: jobs and revenues.
Here are our results as of March 31, 2023.
Estimated total jobs (direct and indirect) attributable to SDTC-funded projects

Estimated annual revenues generated by SDTC companies
Estimated total follow-on financing generated by SDTC-funded companies since 2001
Environmental Benefits
Our primary measurement of environmental benefits is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions achieved by each SDTC-supported project undertaken by the companies we invest in.

Streamlined Processes
We leverage the strengths of our lean organization and the expertise of our people to deliver a big impact. We have streamlined our application process to ensure we are putting our funds to work faster. We continue to transform how we do business, by restructuring how we operate and improving the speed and quality by which we do our business.
