How Canopy Works
Get quick insight into how the platform works for investors & developers
Developers list projects
Project developers list their project in any stage of maturity.
Investors place bids
Investors can place a bid on a per tonne basis and adjust all relevant bid metrics.
Developers award allocations
The project developer selects which bid(s) best fits their requirements and allocate volumes according to their preferences.
The process in detail
Investors
Create an investor’s profile – this will be visible to project developers when you request access to a project
Describe what investments you’d be interested in, Project type, Project size, Geographical focus, Contract/investment type, and Investment size
You will go through KYC and be required to complete onboarding documentation
On completion, you are able to search through the anonymized project database
If a project is of interest, you can send a message to the project developer and request full project information
When the PD agrees to share the project information you will be able to conduct due diligence, exchange messages, and eventually bid on all relevant bid variables
The PD will receive your bid and be able to allocate volumes according their preference
You will be able to agree with this allocation, or you can submit another bid to pursue a higher volume allocation
Project Developers
Create a Project Developer’s profile – an anonymized version will be visible to Investors
Describe what projects you have developed or are looking to develop; Project type, Project size, Geographical focus, Contract/investment type of interest, Investment size of interest
You will go through KYC and be required to complete onboarding documentation
On completion, you are able to create projects on the platform
You will be guided through project quality and risk assessment questionnaires, then can upload relevant project information and documentation to the platform
An anonymized version of these projects will be visible to investors on their search portal
Investors can request to see full project information
You will be able to see the interested investor and can agree to share the project information, exchange messages, and eventually receive bids on your project
The platform will calculate, according to your preferences, which bids will give you the most favorable outcome
You can also decide to allocate volumes to several investors, and can adjust them in a back-and-forth process
Once allocations have been agreed upon, you can close the bidding process and will be taken to the contracting stage with agreed investors
