Introduction

Stormborn is a climate-tech startup developing AI-based solutions to support the green transition. From an early stage, the team recognized that building trust with investors requires more than strong technology; it requires clarity, credibility, and a compelling story.


Challenge

Stormborn needed to position itself as a serious company in a complex ecosystem of investors, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. The challenge was to develop communication tools that could:

— Clearly articulate the investment case

— Translate complex technology into understandable value

— Support dialogue with investors while remaining relevant for political and strategic stakeholders

Stormborn was looking for a true partner with a broad scope and long-term perspective.

Solution

KIRT x THOMSEN acts as Stormborn’s strategic communication partner, supporting investor communication, positioning, and stakeholder engagement. We developed a comprehensive visual storytelling framework, including:

— Renderings and animations that make the technology tangible and credible

— Infographics that clarify impact, scalability, and commercial potential

— 3D printed models used in investor and stakeholder meetings

— Physical workshop and board-game-style tools that activate dialogue and strategic discussion through hands-on interaction

The materials are designed to perform across contexts—from investor pitches and funding rounds to political briefings and internal strategy workshops.

 
 

Result

Internally, the collaboration has sharpened Stormborn’s value proposition and strengthened strategic alignment. Externally, the storytelling tools have improved engagement with investors, politicians, and other key stakeholders. The work has contributed to increased funding and has helped establish Stormborn as a credible, professional, and investable climate-tech company.
