Lunch and Learn with New Energy Nexus - Climatetech Powered by Canada
Join us for a Lunch & Learn with Joy Larson, Program Director for CalSEED at New Energy Nexus. Joy oversees the California Sustainable Energy Entrepreneur Development (CalSEED) program, providing state-funded grants and support to early-stage clean energy startups through the California Energy Commission. With 10+ years across climate innovation, policy, and entrepreneurship, she helps founders navigate public funding pathways, accelerate growth, and build impact-driven companies.
Joy will share insights on the California climatetech ecosystem, the state grant landscape, and how startups can effectively engage with public programmes to scale their innovations.
You’ll also meet the Canadian Technology Accelerator (CTA) Climatetech 2025 cohort—Canada’s high-potential climatetech startups in town for Trellis Impact / VERGE25.
Bring your lunch, learn from Joy, and connect with 9Zero members and the CTA Climatetech cohort for a relaxed networking session.
