Lab to Startup: Deep Tech Startups in Climate

​Panel:
Brian Bartholomeusz - Executive Director of the TomKat Innovation Transfer program

​Matthew Kanan - Professor of Chemistry, TomKat Director, cofounder/scientific advisor of multiple sustainability deep tech startups

​David McColl - Executive Director of Stanford Climate Ventures

​Mike Mettler - GP at Roadrunner Capital, deep tech angel investor (early in Astral Materials, Boom Supersonic, Copper)

​What do Twelve, Antora, and Fervo have in common?

​Besides being some of the most impactful climate tech startups and raising hundreds of millions in funding, they had their roots in Stanford labs.

​Supported by programs like TomKat's Innovation Transfer Program and Stanford Climate Ventures, Stanford researchers have spun dozens of companies out of their research and scaled cutting-edge climate solutions.

​Climate, sustainability, and energy can't be solved with only better policy or better funding. They require scientists and entrepreneurs to develop and commercialize planet-saving technology.

Join us to learn how to navigate the amazing world of climate deep tech from Stanford's best lab to startup resources and mentors, followed by break-out room QnAs.
