Quick answer

How does a climate tech startup produce a brand film for fundraising?

Climate tech and cleantech brand films land best when they show the actual technology in the actual environment — factory floors, deployed installations, lab work — not stock-style 'innovation' b-roll. WERZ produces field-grade brand films, founder profiles, and investor-deck video for climate tech startups. Built for Cosmic Robotics' robotic solar construction across California; FAA Part 107 certified for site-scale aerial.

Climate tech and cleantech brand video is its own discipline. The buyers are technical, the products are physical, the deployments are remote, and the deck has to hold up to a Stanford-trained CTO and a Series B investor in the same meeting. Generic brand-video agencies make spec-style ads — climate tech needs brand films that show the real technology in the real environment.

WERZ has spent years on Cosmic Robotics' robotic solar construction work — capturing installation footage, factory operations, founder context, and site-scale aerial across California. Same playbook applies to solar-site drone documentation, perovskite lab work, energy storage installs, EV-charging deployments, sustainability infrastructure, and the founder profiles climate tech startups need to fundraise.

We handle NDAs, IP-protected lab access, secured-site shoot protocols, and the technical accuracy that climate tech buyers require. The deliverables ladder from a single founder profile through full launch campaigns: investor-deck brand films, hero launch films, customer/partner stories, install/deployment footage, and short-form social cutdowns. Same studio, same producer model, scoped to SF, East Bay, Silicon Valley, and Central Valley solar fields.

Process

Built for climate tech buyers.

i.

Technical discovery first

Before any production, we spend a session on what the technology actually does, what the product roadmap looks like, and what the buyer or investor needs to understand. Climate tech briefs that skip this produce generic 'innovation' content.

ii.

NDA + compliance gate

Signed NDAs, footage approval gates, secured-site protocols, IP-protected raw storage, and pre-cleared edit reviews. Standard for hardware, biotech, defense-adjacent, and lab-based climate tech work.

iii.

Field + lab production

Multi-day shoots across deployment sites, factory floors, R&D labs, and founder interviews. Ground + aerial paired, scoped to weather windows, install schedules, and lab access timing.

iv.

Investor-deck-ready delivery

Hero film, social cutdowns, deck-embed loops, customer-story versions, and recruiting cuts — all from the same shoot package. Scoped before production so the day produces a year of usable assets.

Use cases

Where climate tech video earns its budget.

Series A/B/C fundraising decks

60-90 second cinematic founder + product brand films that anchor the investor pitch. Replaces the slide that says 'demo video here' with something that actually moves the meeting.

Customer + EPC partner stories

Deployment narratives that close enterprise climate tech sales — utility customers, commercial-solar EPC partners, sustainability buyers inside Fortune 500s.

Recruiting for hard problems

Climate tech recruits PhDs, senior engineers, and operators who could go anywhere. Founder + team films that explain the mission and the day-to-day work convert engineering candidates better than job-post content.

Site documentation at scale

Solar fields, energy installs, factory deployments — the visual evidence climate tech buyers and investors need to believe the company can actually ship physical product.

Press + announcement video

Funding announcements, product launches, partnership news — short-form video sized for press kits and social distribution to climate-tech outlets.

Trade-show booth + conference

Loops, hero reels, and on-stand video for Intersolar, RE+, CES, Climate Week NYC, and category-specific climate tech conferences.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is climate tech video production different from SaaS or general tech video?

Climate tech is hardware. The product exists in the physical world — at solar fields, in factories, on rooftops, inside labs. The video has to capture that reality. Generic SaaS-style brand video (office b-roll, abstract motion graphics, talking heads in front of a logo wall) signals to climate tech buyers that the agency does not understand what the company actually does. Field documentation, install footage, lab access, and technical accuracy in the script are non-negotiable.

Can you handle NDAs, IP protection, and secured-site shoot requirements?

Yes. Standard climate tech and hardware production runs under NDAs (production company + crew level), with pre-cleared footage workflows, secured raw-storage, and edit reviews before delivery. We have produced under these constraints for robotics, solar, biotech, and lab-based work. We confirm the security envelope before shoot day, not after.

What does climate tech video production cost?

Climate tech and cleantech brand films typically run $25,000 to $80,000 for a single shoot package (hero film + social cutdowns + investor-deck loop). Full launch campaigns with multi-site coverage, founder + customer stories, and aerial documentation scale to $80,000-$200,000. Pricing reflects the field/site complexity, NDA overhead, and multi-day deployment shoots — not just camera time.

Can you shoot at solar sites, factories, and labs across California?

Yes. We are based in California, FAA Part 107 certified for commercial drone, and have built our climate tech production approach around Cosmic Robotics' California solar construction work. Bay Area labs, Central Valley solar fields, San Diego biotech, Los Angeles cleantech — covered.

Do you work with pre-Series A climate tech startups?

Yes, when scope and budget align. Pre-Series A climate tech often needs a single founder profile or a tight investor-deck brand film rather than a full campaign — typical scope is $15,000-$35,000 for a focused single-day or two-day shoot. Most agencies oversell at this stage; we under-promise and ship a single excellent asset.

What climate tech sub-verticals do you cover?

Solar (PV, perovskite, robotic construction, residential, utility-scale), energy storage, EV charging and infrastructure, robotics for clean energy, sustainability infrastructure, climate-aware industrials, lab-based hardware, and climate-aligned biotech. We do not specialize in pure-software cleantech (those are SaaS shoots) — for those, see our SaaS industry page.

How does WERZ price video, web, or marketing work?

Pricing is scope-based, not template-based. We define deliverables, audience, locations, crew, and revisions before quoting — so the budget reflects actual production needs rather than a pre-set tier.

Can WERZ work from a fixed budget?

Yes. A fixed budget works best when deliverables, locations, revision rounds, and timeline are clear before production starts. We will tell you what is achievable inside the budget rather than promise more than the scope supports.

Are there ongoing retainers, or only project work?

Both. Most marketing and web programs run as monthly retainers (strategy, content, optimization). Video and brand projects are typically scoped per engagement, with optional content retainers for ongoing assets.

How long does a typical engagement take?

Discovery and strategy run 1–2 weeks; production and build run 3–8 weeks depending on scope; launch and iteration kicks off after delivery. Marketing programs are ongoing with measurable milestones at month one, month three, and month six.
