On the first episode of Funding a Better Future: Expert Insights from ClimateTech Investors, I spoke to Matt Ward, Founding Partner of 4WARD.VC.
As well as investing in early-stage climate companies through 4WARD's Climate Syndicate, he is also a strategic advisor to many high-growth climate start-ups. He also hosts The Startup Tank, a platform where start-up Founders can pitch climate VCs for investment.
