G&W Fireside chat with Josh Felser

Our first physical climate innovation hub opened last week in San Francisco, and we are starting to bring the climate community together both in-person and digitally.

A group of seasoned founders, CEOs, operators and venture capitalists announced the launch of Climactic, a New York City and San Francisco, Calif.-based venture capital firm, with a $65M inaugural fund dedicated to accelerating the growth of software-first climate tech startups.

Climactic, a seed venture firm founded by Freestyle Capital's Josh Felser and ex-Lyft executive, Raj Kapoor, has raised $65 million for its first fund.

A couple years ago, when the pandemic was still in full swing, Raj Kapoor and Josh Felser started making some investments in climate tech startups.

Climactic is an early-stage venture fund investing in the energy, AI, automation, and robotics sectors to address climate change and its effects.

EDEN, a digital sales enablement platform for home services, secures $3.7M funding led by Climactic. Its Instant Quote feature has already facilitated over $9M in equipment sales.

TechCon SoCal is pleased to announce its highly anticipated TechCon SoCal 2025 conference, scheduled to take place on January 17-18, 2025, in San Diego.

Funding and deals fall as high interest rates and scale-up challenges weigh on sector.

In this episode of the Cretech Climate Cast podcast, host Michael Beckerman interviews Josh Felser, Co-founding partner of Climactic VC.

We sat down with Josh Felser, Co-founder and Managing Director of Climactic VC, to look at the importance of utilizing private companies in the existential crisis of climate change.

I just co-hosted a Scaling Climate Tech salon this week with the fantastic Meera Clark and was thrilled with the incredible interest from founders (leading to a massive waitlist).

Tech workers and investors are flocking to start-ups that aim to combat climate change.
