LevelTen, which runs a marketplace connecting buyers, sellers, advisors, and financiers of clean energy projects, raised a ~$65M Series D led by B Capital

Context & Ripple Effects
LevelTen’s Series D follows its earlier effort to match SMBs with renewable-energy suppliers, showing an arc from supplier matching toward a marketplace that also includes advisors and financiers. Its earlier renewable-supplier matching platform provides the clearest baseline for why this round matters.
The marketplace’s inclusion of financing makes it part of a broader clean-energy transaction stack, alongside the later emergence of financing software for clean-energy companies. B Capital’s lead also puts a newer investment behind a firm it can support as it prepares a larger follow-on fund.
First-order effects
- LevelTen gains roughly $65 million to support the marketplace serving clean-energy-project buyers, sellers, advisors and financiers.
- B Capital becomes the lead investor in LevelTen’s Series D, adding a clean-energy marketplace company to its investment portfolio.
Second-order effects
- More funding can help LevelTen deepen the connections among project counterparties, increasing pressure on fragmented procurement and advisory workflows to compete on coordination and transaction access.
- Marketplace participants may gain a better-capitalized intermediary, while adjacent clean-energy finance platforms must differentiate between software for financing and access to project-marketplace participants.
Third-order effects
- If marketplaces increasingly combine procurement, advisory and financing, clean-energy project transactions could shift from point tools toward integrated infrastructure-finance workflows.
- The pattern would favor platforms that can attract multiple sides of a project transaction, although the corpus does not establish whether LevelTen can convert added capital into durable marketplace liquidity.
The trend: Clean-energy procurement is evolving into infrastructure finance, with platforms seeking to coordinate project demand, supply, advice and capital in one workflow.
