And&#8230; don&apos;t forget to fill out the post climate week survey! 📝
NYCW 2024 was a DOOZY…filled with plenty of good and crazy times that we equally don’t really remember. It went by in a blur, but so much happened in the week that we need to break it down with all you CleanTechies out there.
Listen to the ep to hear about:
<ul>
<li>What events we liked — Third Sphere, Political Risk Event, Climate Capital Summit, New Climate Futures </li>
<li>The events we didn’t like — VC hangouts & loud bar meetups </li>
<li>Our biggest takeaways — There needs to be better collaboration across events; and the UNGA & NYCW are competing for the best climate talent</li>
<li>Our biggest gripes — Too much posturing and getting stuck in echo chambers; too much noise — not enough signal </li>
<li>What we are going to do differently next year — hosting more of our own events / attending fewer ones & finding places where the real debates are happening </li>
<li>Our hot takes 🔥:
<ul>
<li>FOAK financing isn’t real</li>
<li>Dealflow isn’t an alpha for VCs anymore</li>
<li>Startups need to pursue generating PE-quality returns to succeed </li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
👉 AND…last but not least, stay tuned to hear the recording of our first live podcast (coming later this week)…👀
