"NARRATIVE! That's what makes change" - practically yelled out by Judy Slatyer, Georgia Beattie and Emma Jenkin in their session, and I couldn't agree more! AND how many friends can you make with salad? So far it's 520 climate tech companies, 1,000+ climate tech entrepreneurs and their teams, researchers, 180 mentors (including me), 110 investors, 45 corporate partners, universities, government folk and over 10,000+ supporters! Join Mick Liubinskas and myself as we wrap up the sold-out 2024 Melbourne Climate Tech Showcase. Great to run into Charlotte Connell, Heidi Lee, hear the incredible progress Eytan Lenko and his team have been making at Boundless Earth applying the agile methodology of taking on thematic Epics, as well as Rachel Yang and Giant Leap deploying and looking for opportunities. I've got to give a clap to Joseph Glesta from ClimaSens too, for best presentation in the 90 second pitches, whilst his opening hook was pretty dire, it was slick so.. 🏆 If you're a Climate Salad Founder and we haven't had a chat about where you're taking your business and how you're managing your stakeholders and investors, do reach out for a chat; Let's make sure you're telling your story as effectively as you can, you're giving people what they need to trust you and spread your message, and that you've got the technology in the back end to sell, grow and scale effectively! P.S. If you haven't seen the narrative I put together with Kilara Capital, get on over to their website or check out their LinkedIn videos :D #climate #investing #impact #sales #communication #marketing #climatetech #strategy #bestadvice

Groundwire is back from #ClimateWeek 2024 in NYC! This annual gathering brings together thousands from around the world who believe #ItsTime to act on climate! From financial institutions in Midtown to on-the-ground community organizers in Queens, our founders Abby L. Watson and Raquel Pichardo heard from speakers taking action to solve the climate crisis. We were honored to participate in Transition IQ’s event: How Investors Are Addressing the Climate Emergency. Abby moderated the Energy Transition Venture Investor Lighting Round, Featuring speakers from S2G Ventures, Blackhorn Ventures and the Amazon Climate Pledge Fund about where they see opportunities for impact and returns in #climatetech investing over the next five years. More to come in Groundwire’s newsletter next week, but spoiler alert: there was plenty of talk about the role of #AI in making existing technologies more efficient. In Queens, we attended the second annual Climate Justice Forum – Building the #GreenEnergy Future with Frontline Communities event hosted by Rise Light & Power, WE ACT for Environmental Justice, the NAACP New York City Housing Authority Branch and City & State. Here we were challenged to expand our definition of a successful #energytransition – moving beyond #GHGreduction stats, and considering real-world impacts like improvement in children’s health, safer homes and greener communities.  More to come and more to do!

🚨 Webinar alert! Join us on Nov 13 at 5pm CET for the hottest discussion in climate tech right now: How to Win in the Missing Middle. In climate tech, we've been talking a lot about the 'Missing Middle': the shortage of capital to get companies through their hardest growth phase: from pilots to a first full-scale commercial plants. These companies have matured out of the venture stage, but have not yet scaled and de-risked adequately to access infrastructure-type capital. Looking at data, it's clear that there's not enough growth capital for these companies. Which is a shame, because this phase is essential to get climate technologies from great ideas to real impact and realizing the energy transition. What's the problem? Some will say: it's just not an attractive investment. With these first-of-a-kind investments, you're making infra returns with equity risk. Others will say: this is an underfunded segment in the transition, meaning you can make outsized returns. If you know what you're doing. Which do you think is the case? We think the latter - if you know what you're doing. And we're extremely excited to have invested in two fund managers who we think know: DCVC and Giant Ventures. Both bring deep tech and scaling expertise to help companies bridge this so-called valley of death, and come out stronger on the other side. Join Rachel Slaybaugh, Cameron McLain and our very own Carolina Echecopar in our upcoming webinar to learn all about how to beat the trend and create real returns ánd real impact. https://lnkd.in/d-riXt4b
