Climate Week NYC has grown bigger and bolder this year, and we’re thrilled to be part of it! At @SOSV, we’re passionate about bringing together entrepreneurs, corporations, and investors to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of our time—climate change. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do, and this week, we’ve been able to showcase that commitment in a big way. At SOSV’s Deep Tech Innovation Hub in New York, we welcomed over 1,000 people across 11 exciting events. The turnout was truly inspiring, showing just how much energy and enthusiasm there is to drive real change. It's a reminder of the incredible things we can accomplish when we come together. Our success this week wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing collaboration of 25 organizations. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership, and it’s a powerful example of what we can achieve when we work side by side to combat climate change. Thank you to all our partners for helping make this week so impactful! @streetlifevc @awscloud @nyuniversity @enduring_planet @ClimateVines planeteercapital.com/ @SiliconVlyBank @ThirdSphereHQ @MenteX_co @Allianz @Columbia_Tech @starter_company @GridXinc @juniper_zero @Impact4Climate climatetech.org/ factor75.com/ theclimateguild.com/ @climatecap @Accenture @clever_carbon @GreenerDefault super-climate.com/ @BeZeroCarbon ceezer.earth/ @indbio #NY @SOSV #ClimateWeekNYC #ClimateAction #innovation #deeptech

We're back from our Summer Hiatus, dropping 🔥wisdom from the one and only @aluckymoron of @lowercarbon! Give it a read! Link at the end of the thread
The average founder will have to fight tooth and nail to raise capital in the current market. This is as true for climate as it is for any sector. So, how can you fine-tune your pitching skills and emotionally prepare yourself for the journey ahead? 🧵
