How to Create a Climate Venture
- 08 SEP 2023 |
- Virtual
“How to Create a Climate Venture” focuses on five key areas: unpacking climate solutions, coming up with your idea, leveraging tools to test the viability of your idea, and connecting with fellow climate entrepreneurs to hear their stories and build your network.
The first half of the program is focused on structured ideation, and the second half on idea evaluation. Ideation sessions cover both mitigation and adaptation and use classic ideation frameworks to generate solutions to climate challenges. Climate entrepreneurs tackling both emissions and city-level adaptation share their journeys. Participants use these examples as well as structured exercises to formulate their own elevator pitches.
The second half of the training hones in on idea evaluation, with sessions focused on the five core areas to validate before diving into a startup. Sessions equip participants with tactical tools in demand validation, A/B waitlist testing, assessing climate impact, and ends with using ChatGPT as a co-ideation tool.
The instructor is Rebekah Emanuel, senior advisor for social impact and director of the Harvard Climate Circle at the Harvard Innovation Labs. The class also features entrepreneurs, operators, funders, and other speakers from the climate entrepreneurship ecosystem.
