9Zero Climate Innovation Hub

Climate change is pushing for the rapid adoption of new technologies never seen before. The need for more First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) projects is evident, yet financing remains a challenge. A few months back, I had the opportunity to co-organize a FOAK Roundtable with Deanna Zhang and Jack Fritzinger. During the event, founders showcased how they tackled investors' concerns with innovative approaches, like modularity and forming diverse partnerships. A big thank you to Trevor Best from Syzygy Plasmonics, Walker Dimmig formerly with NET Power, and Will Evans from Monolith for sharing their valuable insights. My newsletter contains the full article. If you found it helpful, subscribe! https://lnkd.in/g55PtHFv

It’s official! Climate Stack is now a podcast! 🎙️ Tune in to our first episode featuring Dr. Peetak Mitra as he delves into the AI models revolutionizing weather modeling. Accurate weather predictions are crucial in our changing climate to safeguard lives and assets. We also explore the intersection of technology and commerce in our conversation, as there is significant B2B play for weather models helping the insurance industry. We are happy to also have a found an official home base for our podcast at 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub. #ClimateStack #Podcast #AI #WeatherModeling #ClimateAdaptation Climate Change AI, Climatebase, Joshua Marker https://lnkd.in/dmCZ4HRn

I'm very excited to announce that Atmos has been selected by the Clean Energy Fund of Texas, Inc to help it with its mission to provide low-cost financing for all residents of Texas to decarbonize and electrify their homes and businesses. https://lnkd.in/g_MMh2hz Thank you to Billy Briscoe, Stephen Brown Sr, Shahara Wright, and Gervais Woodard for believing in us. I can't wait to see the impact that we have together. The #GreenhouseGasReductionFund (#GGRF) is poised to catalyze hundreds of billions of dollars of #bank and #creditunion capital, accelerating the transition to a higher-performing energy system in the US. Atmos Financial was purpose-built to blend these capital streams together — allowing private lenders to expand credit access without increasing risk, tax-payer-funded Green Banks to make their capital go further, faster, together, and provide the lowest-possible-cost financing for the end borrower. Very excited for the coming months and years as we put the electric pedal to the floor on solar, battery storage, and electrification installations. Who wants to join our coalition?

In the past few years, I’ve been inspired by people across the financial ecosystem who are building creative tools to finance and scale ClimateTech and ensure humanity confronts its most challenging problem. I’ve learned about lots of solutions, but many important questions remain: - How can we finance higher-risk emerging technologies?  - How can we help the middle-stage companies who often get overlooked? - How can we mainstream climate financing? As I explore these questions, I'm excited to announce the launch of my Climate Capital Stack newsletter! My goal is to foster conversations and share up-to-date information that reflects the dynamism of this sector.

thank u Gillian Dohrn of GeekWire for taking the time to write this piece 💚 (and Lisa Stiffler for connecting us!) 9Zero is coming to Seattle real soon! (waitlist: https://9zero.com/seattle) cc Aina A. of VertueLab (and Cole Hoover for the fantastic presentation at CleanTech Alliance's Innovation Showcase a few weeks back underscoring for the need for physical spaces!); Anson Fatland of CoMotion at University of Washington; and PNW Climate Week & Bloomberg GreenFest next week! https://lnkd.in/gdctgGHm

NEW CASE STUDY! 9Zero, a climate innovation hub, recently leased a 15,000 square foot space in San Francisco, CA. With a tight budget and a five-week timeline to furnish the space, they turned to Gensler for a recommendation. Gensler referred them to RESEAT, and we were able to successfully source high-quality, sustainable second-life furniture locally, meeting both the budget constraints and the strict time-frame, helping 9Zero create a functional and Eco-friendly workspace. By purchasing 2nd life furniture from RESEAT, 9Zero was able to save 53,475 Kg of CO2e from entering the atmosphere! Professional photos to be shared soon! Thank you to Duncan Logan AllModular Systems, Inc. Helene Rouse Amy Campbell, AIA Taylor Susewitz for making this project turn out great! #circulareconomy #circulardesign #sustainableoffice #sustainablebusiness #sustainabledesign #reseat #reseatit
