This UNGA/Climate Week could have been a month packed into 5 days! It was great to connect with collaborators old and new as well as Halcyon alumni who did us proud in all of the places where they featured their incredible work. One of the highlights of my week was moderating a debate on the role of venture capital in tackling the climate crisis. We were a bit cheeky in taking advantage of election season to switch up the format and have a debate on what we know is a nuanced topic – but our debaters were great sports and help illuminate important ways VC will need to look different moving forward. Three takeaways from the conversation: 1)?VC is already playing a major role in funding climate tech with tens of billions of dollars supporting innovators across the globe, but… 2)?We’re still seeing huge disparities in who is getting funding and where it’s going. Tackling the climate crisis is going to take all of us and VC has a long way to go to reach those closest to the problems and the solutions. 3)?The business models that will tackle the climate crisis will need large early infusions of capital and more patience than we typically see in traditional VC. Non-dilutive capital will need to play a bigger role in this wave of technology innovation and we need to do a better job of connecting the dots for founders. Thanks you John Mennel and Deloitte Sustainability for the opportunity and to our great speakers, Allie Burns, Nancy Pfund, Maxime Bayen, and Jon Bonanno (he/him/his)!
