Climatetech Advisors

I created the brand Climatetech Advisors in early 2020. I had been watching the climatetech space since intentionally trying to grow it with the Impossible Labs brand starting in 2016. I relocated from California to my home state of New York in 2019 to bring climatetech from the west to the east. I was energized in the months before COVID hit the USA to create a brand that would exist entirely to increase interest in and visibility of the field of climatetech, which I defined as “products and services that are climate solutions by design.”

The logo was designed with designer Jerone Hsu, and depicts a merge between a human technology, the wheelchair wheel, and a natural technology, coral. The coral was chosen for its role as an ecosystem engineer, reflecting the aspiration of the brand. In the words of advisor David Cagan, Climatetech Advisors represents a tree that others gather around for shade and for sustenance.

From 2020-2021, I worked with the following organizations, on an entirely pro-bono basis, and sent over 30 newsletters to 100 subscribers:

• Scale for Climatetech Accelerator, NYC, as mentor for ElectroActive Technologies (food waste to hydrogen)

• Bethesda Green Accelerator, Maryland, as mentor for Paradigm One (reusable take out food containers)

• AirMiners, as community participant, and organizer for the first AirMiners conference in 2020 as well as the first award ceremony, the “Carby’s”

• TUSHY (hellotushy.com) - advised on sustainability strategy and carbon offsets purchase

• NYC Parks Department Sustainable Facilities Group, Emerging Tech Team - an internship for budding environmental workers in high school, college, and beyond

• JestGreen, a future community kiosk start-up based out of Brooklyn NY

• CyanSage, a compostable textiles start-up
