I Just Made 100x in Climate Tech | E8

​Climate investing has moved from niche to momentum, and some investors have already seen extraordinary returns. “I Just Made 100x in Climate Tech” is a candid conversation with investors and operators who got into climate early, backed transformative companies, and are now seeing the results. Designed for technology professionals, angel investors, and the broader Seattle Tech Week community, this event explores why sophisticated investors are increasingly turning toward climate innovation as one of the defining opportunities of the next decade. Rather than abstract conversations about sustainability, attendees will hear directly from people who have participated in major cleantech wins — what drew them in, how they evaluated opportunities, what they learned, and where they believe the next wave of returns will come from. The session combines personal investor stories, a high-level overview of today’s climate investment landscape, and practical pathways for attendees who want to begin participating themselves. Organizations supporting climate investment and startup growth will also share how new investors can engage locally and nationally. This event is built for people who may be climate-curious but have not yet taken action — especially software professionals, operators, and angels who want to better understand why climate has become one of the most compelling sectors in venture investing.
