DETAILS

150 seats. One room. For the family offices, investors & founders shaping the next decade of deep tech.

For this 5th edition of our summit, we are coming back with a professional event production team, food catering, french wine, jazz band & a investors speed dating area designed to break the ice & maximize your fundraising during SF climate week!

The Family Offices & Investors Summit @ SF Climate Week is not another conference - it's a curated, closed-door gathering where LPs, GPs, & climate founders sit at the same table & do business.

Last year, our events facilitated over $37M in investments & transactions (+the ones we have not made aware of). This year, we're raising the bar & want to double that number.
