[Open Climate] How do you work with Family Offices

​How to land, keep, and delight the quiet giants of climate capital

​Family offices are the most idiosyncratic money in the market: fast, flexible, but famously hard to read. They don’t fit neatly into VC playbooks, yet they now command US $6 trillion+ in investable assets, with a growing slice earmarked for climate solutions.

​So how do you get on their radar, navigate the decision maze, and manage expectations before/after the wire hits?What we’ll cover in 60 punchy minutes + rapid-fire Q&A

​Before the first call

• ​Mapping the landscape: single-family vs. multi-family, direct investors vs. fund-of-funds

• ​Gatekeepers, chauffeurs, and actual decision-makers: how to get past the velvet rope

• ​Crafting an opening pitch that resonates with legacy, next-gen heirs, and impact mandates

​During diligence

• ​Reading soft vs. hard asks to find the real objection

• ​Aligning on impact metrics and exit horizons when “patient capital” still wants timelines

• ​Handling the family-office curveball: co-investment rights, side vehicles, and bespoke terms

​After the money hits

• ​Reporting cadences that keep principals engaged (and pave the road to follow-on)

• ​Managing “scope creep” when families lean in on strategy or intros

• ​Turning a one-off ticket into a decade-long partnership—second vehicles, rolling trusts, and philanthropic overlays

​Why you should be there

• ​Actionable tactics: outreach templates, diligence checklists, and real reporting snapshots

• ​Unfiltered war stories: founders and GPs share what they wish they’d known before taking FO money

• ​Investor POV: hear exactly how families weigh risk-return in climate and where they’re writing checks next

​🚫 No vague “relationship-building” clichés
✅ Just battle-tested frameworks and radical candor
