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!

What an exciting conversation on climate tech startups and just understanding what investors look for, before investing in tech start ups. Here is what you need to know.. Before approaching an investor, ask yourself the following questions; 1. How viable is your business idea/ innovation? 2. Is your innovation sustainable ? 3. How unique is your innovation? Are you duplicating another person's ideas or targeting the same customers? 4. How applicable is it to the customers in terms of affordability and ease of using it? 4. Have you done an impact measurement of your innovation? Do you have factual data of how your innovation has improved the life of the community? Thank you Pangea Accelerator

I'm thrilled to share our latest contribution to the climate tech landscape: "Traversing the Scale Gap." This report, a collaborative effort with our friends and colleagues at Elemental Excelerator, tackles the urgent challenges and innovative strategies crucial for scaling climate technologies.    We identify a daunting $150 billion Scale Gap that hinders progress in this vital sector. Through extensive dialogues with over 100 investors and corporate partners, our report outlines how corporates and investors across the capital stack can lean into the Scale Gap, using "old tools" and "new friends".   Dive into the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gDE8SHfc Big kudos to my co-author Melissa Uhl and the incredible team of contributing authors across Elemental Excelerator, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and BCG X - Dawn Lippert Avra van der Zee Danya Hakeem Saritha Peruri Vinay Shandal Raju Sarma Veronica Chau Katie Hill Michael Bernstein #ClimateTech #InnovateForImpact #ClimateFinance #FOAK
