Hey everyone! Today we’ve got a great episode with Tommy Leep from VC, Jetstream. Some of his PortCos include David Energy, Pachama, Rhizome, and past pod guests Pathways & Glacier. 

He’s been on the show in the past with some great advice on fundraising. Check it out — episode 85. 

#85 How to Raise Money for your ClimateTech Startup w/ Tommy Leep, founder of Jetstream VC

Recently there have been a bunch of people shifting their focus or branding to be more inclusive and not always sound ‘pure climate tech’ — Tommy is one of those people. He recently claimed “ClimateTech is Mainstream now.” Because of it, he’s broadening his fund thesis. 

This is the first of at least two conversations on this exact topic (stay tuned for next week’s episode with Grace and Adam from Equal Ventures). 

Topics 

• 00:00 The Shift in Climate Tech Perspectives
• 10:06 Mainstreaming Climate Tech
• 20:03 Investing in Health, Wealth, and Resilience
• 30:08 The Future of Education and Community Building
