Show Notes:

Nishant, a partner at Climate Capital, shared insights into the program's mission to engage more angel investors who are passionate about addressing climate challenges. He highlighted that while the climate crisis continues to escalate, the number of entrepreneurs developing solutions is also increasing. However, access to capital remains a significant hurdle for many founders. The Climate Angels program aims to bridge this gap by fostering a community of informed investors who can provide the necessary support.

Vijay emphasized the importance of demystifying angel investing, noting that many potential investors feel intimidated by the complexities of the field. He pointed out that one doesn't need to be an expert in every aspect of investing; rather, building a supportive network is crucial. This community allows investors to share knowledge and collaborate in supporting founders dedicated to creating sustainable solutions.

The episode also touched on the evolving landscape of climate investing, with both guests predicting a shift toward sectors focused on adaptation and resilience. As the impacts of climate change become more pronounced, there will be an increasing demand for businesses that enhance supply chain robustness and address climate-related challenges.

The Climate Angels program stands out as a unique initiative that combines practical experience with expert insights. Over six weeks, participants learn about the fundamentals of angel investing while gaining knowledge about specific climate topics. The program features guest speakers from the industry, providing valuable networking opportunities and equipping participants to make informed investments in the climate tech space.

Listeners interested in making a meaningful impact through their investments are encouraged to join the Climate Angels program. With a special discount available for podcast listeners, this initiative offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable future.
