 🍃We believe that Investing in Climate Tech is like building a skyscraper on shifting sands - which surely requires patience, resilience, and a deep understanding of the landscape. But the view from the top promises not just profit, but a legacy of sustainability for generations to come. And with this thought, we are excited to announce a panel discussion on 'Funding and Scaling Asset Heavy Sustainable Ventures' For this discussion, join us in welcoming Paul Ark (Polapat Arkkrapridi), venture partner at The Radical Fund; Korbchai Pitrasatorn, Investment Manager at AddVentures by SCG; Zhengyi Zhu, Investment Professional at East Ventures; and Shailesh Vickram Singh, Director of Massive Earth Foundation and founder of Climate Angels. Venture Capitalists face a crucial moment as they deal with the unique challenges of evaluating and investing in Climate Tech. From the shift in investment needs to the varied skills of founders and the uncertain path of emerging technologies, how do VCs navigate a landscape where success requires a mix of tech, digital know-how, and real-world infrastructure? 💡How will they adjust their risk-taking to support longer investments given the extended timeframes of climate solutions? In this conversation, we will explore how innovation, investment, and sustainability intersect in the pursuit of a greener world🌍 #ClimateTech #VentureCapital #Sustainability

"Ultimately, and this is maybe most important, when we look at impact, we try to achieve what we call systemic impact, which means if this technology is adopted and becomes mature, it will become the industry standard. That means all our competitors will be doing it as well, which may be bad from a business point of view but is super good from an impact point of view." Today's new Investor Spotlight Interview is with Helmer Schukken, managing partner at Rubio Impact Ventures, a Netherlands-based impact venture capital firm. Click through and read Helmer's insights into climate investing! We've linked the article in the comments. We'd like to extend a huge thanks again to Helmer for giving us his valuable perspectives; we feel he covered a lot of new ground and gave some great advice. We wish him and Rubio Impact Ventures nothing but the greatest success in their surely exciting future. #investorspotlight #seekthechange #climatetech #startupadvice #venturecapital

💸 20+ Climate Angel Syndicates To Know In ClimateTech, angel investors (often active or exited founders and operators) make up a fair portion of early stage funding activity. But unlike navigating the world of VCs, it’s notoriously difficult, and time consuming, to find active angels, know what they’re interested in, and understand how much they can invest. Step in Angel Syndicates - groups of active angels who invest together, typically behind the recommendation of a Syndicate Lead. If you’re a Climate Tech Founder looking to secure your first (or next) angel investment, then good news, we’ve done the hard work for you 👇 🇲🇽 Angel Ventures 🇺🇸 Cerulean Ventures 🇮🇳 Climate Angels 🇺🇸 Climate Avengers 🇺🇸 Climate Capital  🇩🇪 Climate Insiders 🇦🇺 Climate Salad Capital 🇮🇳 Climate Seeders Club 🇺🇸 Cool Climate Collective 🇮🇹 COREangels Climate 🇺🇸 CREO Family Office Syndicate  🇳🇱 Endgame Capital 🇺🇸 Gaingels 🇬🇧 Generation-Re 🇺🇸 GlassWall Syndicate Association, Inc. 🇬🇧 Green Angel Syndicate 🇬🇧 Newland Syndicate 🇩🇪 Partners in Clime 🇺🇸 Planet Positive  🇬🇧 Science Angel Syndicate 🇸🇪 Solvable Syndicate 🇳🇴 The Fungi Investment Collective VC 🇺🇸 The Nucleation Syndicate 🇵🇹 Xinomavro Ventures Led by: Hernan Fernandez Lamadrid, Matthew Stotts, Jahed Momand, Shailesh Vickram Singh, Jenna T., Jennifer Kan, Michael Luciani, Yoann Berno, Mick Liubinskas, Pratap Raju, Nalin Agarwal, Mehrad Yaghmai, Tristan Pollock, Federico Giannetti, Michele Morabito, Régine Clément, John Mairlot, Paul Grossinger...

Bill Gates-backed climate VC Breakthrough Energy Ventures raised $839 million toward its new fund. While this is a great step towards progress, I look forward to more investments in this critically important goal: to reverse course on climate change and restore livable places and resources for this planet's inhabitants, and advance #environmentaljustice. For the last part, we need significantly more capital invested in climate funds managed by diverse fund managers, such as The 22 Fund.
