Investor Speaker Series: Access to Success

Underrepresented founders in climatetech face unique and growing challenges to accessing investors and fundraising for their business. How can startups bridge this gap, and where can investors who want to begin diversifying their portfolios look for guidance?

Join Greentown Labs virtually on April 14 for the next installment of our Investor Speaker Series, which will feature a panel discussion centered around prioritizing DEI in climate finance and reverse pitches from VCs who are leading unique DEI initiatives.

As the climatetech finance industry strives to become more equitable, we have an opportunity to establish a network of founders and investors across the country. This event will offer actionable takeaways attendees can use to create a more equitable climate finance landscape. We hope you will join us!
