General tech grows itself because of the founder / operator ➡ angel investor ➡ more founders / operators cycle. I reckon we need to make this happen for climate tech too. How to go from being one to one of many? One of my bets is joining Climate Capital's upcoming Climate Angels cohort as a mentor. Exciting times ahead we brew the next wave of angel investors with Sundeep and Jennifer. If you are believe in this virtuous cycle too, come say hi 👇 https://climateangels.vc #ClimateInvesting #Climactic

Was exciting to be sharing our thinking and the traction we have with our Industry Pivot Funds last week in NYC during climate week. Taking CEO/ Industry collaboration to the next level by bringing capital to the mix - Great energy in the room with lots of ideas and builds to create industry pivot funds as a tool to accelerate and scale progress for industries that share collective challenges they cannot solve on their own! Want to know more? Give me a ping.

I had a chat with Namratha Kothapalli, Principal at Speedinvest, about investing in climatetech as a generalist VC firm. Here are the key insights from that chat. Unique aspects of due diligence in climate hardware 🔍: You need a special focus on 1. the team’s pace of iteration, 2. the capital stack, and 3. the economics Main advantages of being a generalist VC investing in climatetech 💚: You can provide a large centralized portfolio support, cooperation between portfolio start-ups, and bring in a broad LP base Main hurdle of being a generalist VC in climatetech 🤔: Generalist VC’s investment committees often have less climate science understanding and need more explanations to understand climate deeptech Want to learn more about climatetech and Namratha, read my article at https://lnkd.in/e8RJhQTX

Impact VC investing isn’t like dating or soccer - it isn’t a zero-sum game 🚫⚽ Hampus Jakobsson, Co-Founder and General Partner at Pale blue dot, reflects on collaboration in the impact VC environment, which events to go to, fixing inequality, and much more in my latest article. Two of my favorite insights from the chat: - "Hampus says that he doesn’t think that the Climate VC space is collaborative because of the mission (even though that would sound better), but because there are more opportunities than there is capital today. It is still a very early ecosystem 🌱" - Hampus pretty much only goes to Slush, TechBBQ, and The Drop; and he started The Drop because he was never satisfied from going to other vents Read more about Hampus' thoughts and about The Drop in my latest Impact Supporters article: https://lnkd.in/enTC77pB
