NYCW 2026: Fundraising for Climate Hardware and Deeptech
Context: A half-day fundraising workshop built specifically for hardware and durable-asset climate startups. Bringing together the founders, CFOs, and operators navigating the complex stack of equity, project finance, and building the bridge in between.
Programming is designed to be tactical, not theoretical. Founders should leave with a clearer playbook for what their next raise looks like, who they need on their cap table, and how to think about the financial structuring decisions that compound as they scale.
