Pachamama Ventures Presents "The Carbon-Negative Frontier: What Investors Need to Know Now"
Industrial decarbonization is the biggest climate opportunity of our generation. From carbon-negative chemicals to overlooked markets, the next wave of climate innovation is already underway - if you know where to look.
While most headlines focus on software or offsets, a new generation of climate founders is tackling the physical infrastructure behind global emissions and they're doing it with better tech, better timing, and billion-dollar customers already listening.
Join Aaron Fitzgerald, CEO & Co-founder of Mars Materials, Lewis Latimer Fellow / Breakthrough Energy Innovator Fellow alumnus, and Karen Sheffield, Founder & Managing Partner of Pachamama Ventures, for a candid conversation on what it takes to build and back a carbon-negative company.
Whether you're a climate-curious LP, or already an impact investor, this session offers a rare inside look at climate tech from both sides of the table.
In this live conversation, we'll explore:
Why carbon-to-value markets are gaining traction now
What’s working, what’s broken, and what’s next in carbon-negative materials
How Mars Materials is approaching incumbents, partnerships, and scale
What founders actually need from climate investors
