Portfolio Acceleration

The goal of the Climate Draft is to accelerate efforts combating climate change by mobilizing high-impact individuals. The inaugural Climate Draft in October 2021 focused on connecting top talent from the tech industry with venture-backed climate tech startups as potential advisors, board members, angel investors, and/or executives. The 1-month virtual program resulted in 429 double opt-in intros between 80 experienced executives (including multiple current and former C-level execs at public companies) and 68 companies, which have already led to multiple new hires.

Climate Draft is an industry-wide effort to attract, educate, and activate new talent into climate tech.
