An informal evening bringing together founders, investors, and operators across climate and sustainability, designed for conversation, not panels.
This event brings together a curated mix of early and growth stage founders alongside active VCs and ecosystem players. The format is intentionally relaxed, with drinks and canapes, creating space for genuine connection and high-quality conversations.
Alongside open networking, the evening will feature a small number of short “Spotlight Moments”, five-minute introductions from a select group of founders and investors, woven naturally throughout the event. These are not formal pitches or presentations, but quick, high signal insights into what people are building, backing, and looking for.
From the founder's side, spotlights offer a chance to share what they are building and what they need next. From the investor side, perspectives will include what funds are actively looking for, common misconceptions around fundraising, and where there is interest in seeing new or underrepresented opportunities emerge.
The overarching theme is centered on broadening the lens of who gets backed and how portfolios are built, bringing forward a wider range of perspectives, experiences, and approaches. This is explored in a natural and commercially grounded way.
