About us
ClimateLink's mission is to accelerate the development and deployment of climate action technologies through the combined effects of an online market-network and physical meetups in hub cities around the world. This meetup is about building up the community here in the Bay Area of entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and all champions of new technologies to improve the livability of our planet.
WHO
Anyone active in sustainability, climate action, technology, science, design, entrepreneurship, investment, and/or resource issues should join!
Are you:
• Working on a sustainability innovation and looking for investment, partners, or customers?
• Interested in working for a company that is doing the above?
• Looking to put money into startups in the trillions-dollar transition to a decarbonized?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you should join this meetup.
WHAT
Monthly meetups will be 90 - 120 minutes in length (plus informal socializing time afterwards) showcasing innovative approaches to solve specific sustainability issues. We'll have 1 - 2 presenters showcasing what they've built, measured or expected results, and where they are going with the technology.
WHERE
We're still figuring out a regular location, but we'll start at one of the WeWork spaces most likely.
WHEN
Right now, we are aiming for the 2nd or 3rd Wednesday of each month for our primary meetup with some flexibility based on what else is going on.
WHY
Climate change is affecting the planet at an increasing pace and startups in our space need to be connected to a different set of capital providers than typical 'VCs'. This meetup and the network behind it is determined to make the right network connections happen and get these innovations to market.

The Politics of Building Clean Energy
9Zero Climate Innovation Hub & Coworking, 350 California St, San Francisco, CA, USThe biggest decisions on climate aren’t made in Washington—they’re made in statehouses, city halls, and utility commissions across the country.
Join Climate Cabinet for an off-the-record briefing on the overlooked state and local races that quietly determine energy costs, infrastructure, and who gets to build. With more than 7,000 statehouse offices nationwide, just a few dozen low-visibility contests will have an outsized impact on climate progress in 2026 and beyond.
Using our Moneyball approach, we’ll explore a set of “weird” but powerful statewide elections most people miss—and why they matter directly to affordability, permitting, and deployment.
A clear framework for assessing political leverage—how to identify high-impact opportunities, understand margins that matter, and navigate volatility in a rapidly shifting political environment.
Agenda
