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.

Agrivoltaics in California: Growing Food & Generating Clean Energy
9Zero Climate Innovation Hub & Coworking, 350 California St, San Francisco, CA, USCalifornia is working to meet ambitious clean energy goals while protecting productive farmland and managing increasingly scarce water resources. Could agrivoltaics—combining solar energy generation with agriculture—help address all three?
Join us for a conversation with Michelle Cox, Program Manager at HARVEST California, exploring the rapidly evolving agrivoltaics landscape in California. Moderated by Emmet Murphy, the discussion will look at how dual-use solar can support farming, water resilience, and California’s clean energy transition.
We’ll explore:- What current research tells us about impacts on crops, water use, biodiversity, and farm resilience.
- Lessons from California research and commercial projects, as well as experience elsewhere in the U.S. and internationally.
- How agrivoltaics could help California navigate the intersection of food, energy, and water.
- Policy, economic, and practical barriers to adoption—and what it will take to responsibly scale.
Whether you work in agriculture, energy, climate technology, research, policy, or investing—or are simply curious about innovative climate solutions—join us to explore the potential of producing renewable energy while keeping California farms productive and resilient.
