Curating Investor Access to Cleantech 2.0

Disruptive forces of change such as urgent electricity demand, onshoring supply chains, and increased weather volatility are combining to create the biggest innovation wave in a generation: Cleantech 2.0. In the US, early-stage cleantech companies are emerging to address some of the biggest challenges facing businesses today. They use unprecedented tools and offer a leap of value, leading to increased profits, reduced risk and improved resilience.

Yet US early-stage cleantech is too often overlooked by investors. It is a complex, dynamic, and technical space. Assessing early-stage cleantech presents a challenge, and investors have limited access pathways that usually rely on picking individual funds and companies when predicting winners is daunting.

In this talk, Jane Woodward aims to demystify Cleantech 2.0- what drives it, what makes it enduring, and what these companies look like. This talk will also make the case for a strategic approach to bring investors into this space, using a hybrid portfolio structure designed to capture upside, mitigate downside, and provide early access to disruptive innovation.

Speaker: Jane Woodward, WovenEarth Ventures and Stanford University
