New York-based CREtech, a technology and sustainability conference company dedicated to investing in climate tech startups in the Built World, has announced the launch of the “CREtech Climate Venture Coalition”.
The Coalition, led by CREtech CEO Michael Beckerman, won’t directly invest but aims to boost deal flow for its members, catalysing potential investments in the sector. Beckerman, an active angel investor in climate tech startups, will lead the initiative.
Brief about the Coalition
The Coalition, facilitated by CREtech’s broad global audience, has launched a website to serve as a portal for climate tech startups in the Built World to submit fundraising information.
This data will be shared exclusively with Coalition members, focusing on startups addressing the decarbonisation of the Built World, responsible for 40 per cent of global greenhouse gases.
CREtech will not vet submissions, maintaining strict confidentiality within the Coalition without public disclosure.
Founding members of the CREtech Climate Venture Coalition include Pi Labs, Building Ventures, and JLL Spark.
Additional members comprise Aconterra, Alpaca VC, Climate Capital, Contest Point, GreatWave, Keyframe Capital, Overview, Remarkable Ventures, Climate, Rock Yard Ventures, Shadow Ventures, Streetlife Ventures, The MET Fund, and Tawani Ventures.
The CREtech Climate Venture Coalition’s exclusive law firm sponsor is Goodwin Procter LLP.
The Coalition features a group of sustainability property experts as Advisors. Their role is to offer insights into real estate tech adoption trends, objectives, and priorities, with no financial stake or compensation tied to the Coalition or its members’ venture investments.
