Blending Profit and Philanthropy: All hands on deck to mitigate catastrophic climate change
Sarah Kearney, Founder and Executive Director of PRIME Coalition will describe her 12-year journey to bring philanthropic resources and for-profit investment together to support innovative new technologies combating climate change.
- PRIME identifies and funds start-up and growth stage companies with disruptive technology capable of achieving large scale climate impact. Through novel grant structures and sophisticated financial tools, PRIME helps these young companies survive the “innovation valley of death” and get them “primed” for scaled financing from more traditional investors.
- PRIME’s companies are delivering “profit with purpose” at the cutting edge of sustainable investing.
- Sarah will talk about careers in impact investing (and PRIME internship opportunities) and how you can craft a successful career path helping fight climate change.
