​TL;DR

​This ripple is for other climate obsessed investors, philanthropists, foundations and family offices to exchange and learn how we could and should operate most effectively in a complex climate system. Early stage founders should not hesitate to claim an available headset and listen in, while getting to know our community of climate obsessed foundations and family offices (a.k.a. COFFOs)!

​Topic overview

​Why is the topic relevant?

​Only 2% of philanthropy goes into climate (16bln of total 811bln), where as early stage climate moonshot need their first funding, and they need it now. Without the obstacle of VC-arguments ("not enough return security", "too risky", "takes too long"). This ripple is for other climate philanthropist, foundations and early stage founders to learn how we could and should operate as venture philanthropists in a complex climate system.

​What’s up for discussion?

• ​How can we operate more effectively together as COFFOs, e.g. deal flow, co-funding, DD?

• ​How can we increase the 2% that goes into climate philanthropy?

• ​How can we reach the boldest and earliest stage climate moonshot founders?

• ​How can we work (more) closely together with the climate VC community?

​Dream outcome

​A growing network of the COFFO network, an acceleration of deal flow and co-funding with fellow COFFOs, more founders learning about venture philanthropy and how to reach us, more concrete collaboration with climate VCs (e.g. follow on funding, deal flow exchange, co-education).

​Who should attend?

​Family offices, climate foundations, earliest stage climate moonshots, initiatives for systemic interventions (Policy makers, lobby, expert platforms, research pathways, etc). Hosted by CarbonFix, ClimaNow and Aurum Impact.
