From Complexity to Conviction

We get your technology, your market and the people who need to understand, regulate, amplify and back it.

What we do

  • Create Stories
    We turn complex solutions & tech into stories and positions that investors, regulators, the press and customers actually remember.
  • Build Trust
    We bring 20+ years of industry experience building trust and structures that make your solution or product win. The kind of trust that turns conviction into customer commitment, stakeholder alignment and regulatory credibility.
  • Drive Conviction
    We help move your audiences from interest to action. We have proven over and over again that we can turn doubt into capital, attention into partnerships, and complex markets into credible routes forward.

How we do it

No endless decks. No deliberation. We execute.

We bring strategy that's built on real industry experience, not pattern-matching and we stay long enough to make it land. From understanding your technology to integrating the work operationally inside your team.

You Share the Challenge
You don't have enough leads or not cutting through the noise? Tell us your goal or the wall you've hit. We've usually been there before.
We Show the Path
A clear, sector-specific roadmap built on two decades of seeing what works in energy, climate, deeptech and industrial markets not on a generic framework.
We Execute
We run the work with your team or independently. We don't hand you a slide deck and disappear. We deliver.
Placements and Engagements

Seen. Heard. Placed.

We place our clients in the media that drive the conversation and at the events that matter.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

In my 20+ years as an entrepreneur and investor, I've learned that technology alone doesn't win markets, positioning, timing, and stakeholder alignment do. Elevate2Impact gets this intuitively. What sets them apart is rare: they combine deep industry insights with strategic communications expertise and genuine execution capabilities. They help companies anticipate market shifts, not just respond to them.

Emanuel Heisenberg
CEO & Founder, ecoworks

Energy tech founders face a unique challenge: you need to be visionary and credible, bold and precise, at the same time. elevate2impact helped us strike that balance. They built narratives and stories that land with impact investors, industry partners, and policymakers, without losing what made it ours. They don’t just communicate your story, they become part of it.

David Oudsandji
CEO & Founder, Voltfang

As an energy investor, you need partners who understand not just what you’re building, but the full complexity of the ecosystem around it. elevate2impact helped us sharpen it. The result is a positioning that genuinely resonated with the right people and a social media presence that delivers the right attention, from the right people, at the right time.

Jan Lozek
CEO, Future Energy Ventures

Who we are

The People

Elevate2Impact is a team of communications and technology experts spanning Europe, the USA, and APAC.

Founded and led by Doreen Rietentiet, who has founded multiple consultancies and initiatives over the past 20 years, such as the strategy consultancy DWR eco, Leaders for Climate Action, Climate Tech Talents, the Global Eco Transition Initiative, Germany’s Renewable Energy Agency and many more.

Doreen started Elevate2Impact with Amelie, Valeria, and Kayla, who built their partnership over many years before launching the new venture. The team brings more than 20 years of experience working alongside founders, investors, and institutions across energy, infrastructure, real estate, space tech, and agri tech.

Q&A

Want to know more?

We're experts, not generalists. We've worked with over 300 companies across energy, climate and deeptech, and we actually understand your technology, your market and the regulatory context around it. We're not just advisors to the ecosystem — we build it and are deeply embedded within it. Classical PR advisories pitch and place — we operate. With 20+ years in strategy, go-to-market, regulatory positioning, fundraising and communications, we build the narrative, run it, and stay until it lands. No deck-and-disappear.
We help you cut through the noise — which has only gotten louder in the age of AI — and we're here to help you grow, fundraise and go to market. We know what message lands with investors, media, regulators and customers, and when the right time is. We either run inside your team or independently. Across the arc: strategy consulting, PR and media relations, thought leadership and executive positioning; regulatory positioning and stakeholder alignment; VC and investor relations, fundraising, pitch and deck strategy, LP introductions; and go-to-market.
Founders, funds and institutions reshaping industries — deeptech, energy, climate, industrial, infrastructure, space, aviation, mobility, life sciences, material tech, robotics and circular economy — across Europe, the US and APAC.
Initially, you share the challenge or goal, and we develop a clear, sector-specific path to achieve it. Then we execute — either taking over entire projects or working alongside your team. In weekly jour fixes we set priorities and decide on strategic matters together.
By outcomes that move the business: capital raised, partnerships closed, stakeholder alignment, and credible visibility with the right audiences at the right moment.

Let's Talk

Elevate Your Impact

Whether you’re raising, scaling, entering new markets, navigating regulatory stakeholders or repositioning for the next chapter — we help elevate your visibility, impact and capital with clarity, credibility and a network that delivers. Built on two decades of doing the work, with the companies, organizations and VCs shaping tomorrow’s industries.
