Led by HBS Professor Jim Matheson, the Launching Climate Ventures (LCV) Sprint will provide participants with an understanding of the activities required to launch a climate-focused venture from an R&D lab including identifying climate problems, translating, and licensing IP, building a founding team and pursuing early financing. LCV is for anyone interested in founding, joining, and/or investing in early-stage ClimateTech companies.

LCV is offered in partnership with other Harvard climate-focused venturing groups including Harvard Grid, Wyss Institute, Harvard i-lab, OTD, and HBS Business and Environment Initiative. These collaborations provide participants the opportunity to meet and collaborate with other Harvard climate-focused colleagues including from HBS, SEAS, HES, and HKS.

In addition to exploring the key mechanics of starting a climate technology company, we will also cover the context of climate change, examine key climate problems and opportunities, and highlight critical policy initiatives focused on driving climate innovation.
