150 seats. One room. For the family offices & investors shaping the next decade of climate & frontier tech.
***************************************
A NOTE ON THIS YEAR'S FORMAT
After 6 summits & conversations with some of the most respected allocators in our network, we rebuilt this event from the ground up.
The feedback was clear: fewer people, sharper curation, more structured conversations, less noise. We listened.
This year, we are introducing a phased entry system designed to protect the quality of every interaction in the room.
Phase 1 (2:00 PM): Family offices & institutional LPs enter first. For one full hour, the room belongs exclusively to verified allocators. No pitches. No founders. No fund managers. Just the people who write the largest checks, meeting each other on their own terms.
Phase 2 (3:00 PM): Fund managers & GPs join. They enter a room where 45+ family offices are already warmed up & engaged. Thematic breakout rooms open by vertical: Energy Abundance, Grid Optimization, Climate Resilience, Built Environment. No random panels. Every room has a thesis.
Phase 3 (4:00 PM): Founders enter. They walk into a room of 90+ allocators & fund managers who have been having substantive capital conversations for two hours. The conversations are flowing. The context is set.
150 seats. Three phases. Every phase designed so the right people meet at the right moment.
We are not getting bigger. We are getting better. This is the most curated, most intentional event we have ever produced.
If you have been in our rooms before, you will notice the difference. If this is your first time, you are walking into something we spent three years learning how to build.
For this 7th edition of our summit, we are coming back with a professional event production team, snacks & wine, jazz band & a investors speed dating platform designed to break the ice & maximize your fundraising during Climate Week NYC!
The Family Offices & Investors Summit @ Climate Week NYC 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.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER OUR LAST SUMMITS
This is not a talking shop. Capital moves in this room.
$15M Raised - Twelve (SAF Carbon Transformation). An introduction made through our summit network connected Twelve - the company turning CO into jet fuel & chemicals for Mercedes-Benz, P&G, & British Airways - with the CMA CGM Saad family office. Result: $15M raised to scale the technology that's replacing fossil fuels with air & water.
$37M+ in Funds LPs Investments Value Facilitated in 2025. Across our summits & coalition network, Atlas team facilitated more than $37M in transaction value between LPs & GPs of frontier & climate tech funds in a single year.
500+ Investor-Innovators Connections Made. Our events don't end when the panels do. Through structured 1:1 matching, post-event introductions, & the WeTheAtlas platform, our summits have generated over 500 qualified LP-GPs connections since 2024.
Every number on this page is real. We don't count badge scans. We count capital deployed.
THE FORMAT: BUILT FOR DEALS, NOT PANELS
This is not a 3,000-person conference with a lanyard & a prayer. Here's exactly how the day works:
150 attendees. That's it. We cap attendance & curate every seat. Ratio target: 50% LPs & family offices, 30% GPs & fund managers, 20% frontier tech founders. Everyone in the room is either writing checks or building companies worth funding.
Structured 1:1 Investor-Founder Matching. Every sponsors is matched with up to 10 relevant connections before the event through our WeTheAtlas matching system. You'll arrive knowing exactly who to meet, what time & which table number - no cold intros, no wasted conversations.
3 Deep-Dive Panels (Not TED Talks) Moderated discussions with founders & investors who are in the trenches - not keynotes from people selling you a vision.

Energy Abundance: Nuclear Power, SAF & the New Economics of the Energy Renaissance
From Bits to Atoms: Physical AI, Robotics & the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Revolution
