OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
Climate startups face a commercialization gap: They've proven the science, but are too risky for VCs - and too commercial for a government grant.
It's a gap that philanthropic capital is well-positioned to close.
Galith Levy is the CEO and co-founder of the Climate Solutions Prize, a dedicated philanthropic platform for climate innovation, deploying capital at the moment it matters most. Since 2020, they’ve deployed more than $12M in awards and unlocked over $120M in follow-on investment for winners.
What we cover:
- Why a prize vs grants, funds, or donor-advised vehicles
- The unique gap that philanthropic capital can address
- How CSP structures the prizes to unlock follow-on investment
- Why climate makes up just <2% of climate philanthropy - and how that can change
- Family offices and the next-generation of climate capital
- Communication impact returns - not just financial ones
- What blended finance actually looks like in practice
- Building the "Davos for climate"
