Climactic, ArcTern Ventures, Montauk Capital: Scaling the Electron Economy
Early-stage capital is shaping the climate solutions of tomorrow, but not all capital is created equal. Join us for a high-powered conversation between three of the most influential voices in climate venture capital, each reimagining how capital can accelerate decarbonization, infrastructure resilience, and the software–hardware interface in climate innovation.
Mira Inbar (ArcTern Ventures), Raj Kapoor (Climactic VC), Kirk Hourdajian (Montauk Capital) will sit down together, for the first time, to explore:
The climate moonshots they’re betting on
What the Electron Economy really means for founders, policymakers, and investors
Why scaling climate tech is no longer just a software problem
How they think about impact vs return, risk, and timing
How capital flows—and doesn’t—in climate infrastructure
