As public awareness of climate change increases, so does interest in solutions that might mitigate its effects. However, most audiences – incumbents, investors, and the general public – do not understand the complex ecosystem of “cleantech” or “climate-tech” investment and what it actually takes to transition great ideas from the lab to commercial scale.

While venture capital funding is at an all-time high, the total funding for cleantech startups fell during most of the past decade; and only a small, select group of investors are stepping up to champion investments in critical early-stage climate technologies to address the climate crisis.

Tapping into broad and increasing interest in climate change solutions and sustainable investment, we positioned CEV and its partners as thought leaders in clean energy and climate-tech financing, technologies and related trends.

In addition to garnering media coverage in top-tier business, technology, and trade publications including CNBC, MarketWatch and Financial Times, CEV’s managing partners have been featured as guests on industry podcasts and events.

Over the course of the last 12 months managing CEV’s social media program, we doubled the company’s LinkedIn followers to more than 19,000 followers. At the request of the team, we provided social media training, highlighting best practices, tips and tricks to the executive team.

The team has become trusted industry experts on climate-tech investments and continues to be sought after for industry commentary.
