Why did you start climate catalysts? the climate economy is forecast to grow to $1.5T by 2025 and already climate and clean tech sectors are valued at about $5T. That's a lot of investment in a lot of people, technologies, and communities. They need a multidisciplinary 360-degree view that is vertically integrated to tell their stories, inspire innovation and new companies and ignite action to gain the tangible results we need for our collective present.

what do you want to accomplish with climate catalysts? in roughly 175 years of fossil fuel-based industrialization and a linear rationalized view of reality, we humans have done a pretty good job of fouling our own nest. It's time we learned from nature, applied the brilliance of nature-based solutions and used biomicry in its varied forms combined with the amazing advances in analog and digital technolgies and materials science to create solutions based on recognizing our home planet as a living ecosystem and as the basis for all life and economy, emminently worthy of love and care.

who do you hope to inspire? Everyone. Climate Catalysts is a team sport. We need everyone's passion, love, expertise, insights, skills, perspective, collaboration and focus to get us out of this self-created mess and create the regenerative and circular economies that are already shaping our collective future. We need you. Please consider being a guest to share your story or expertise. no matter what your have accomplished or tried to do, your story is needed for inspiration, knowledge, and experience. If you are a values and vision aligned brand, then reach out to discuss sponsorship or being a guest.

What stories do you want to tell? the rise of independent decentralized journalism not dependent on increasing shareholder value or market share gives us an opportunity to get to the very heart of the human condition in context of building a regenerative and circular world experience. No story is too small, no technology too nascent, no impact investment too small to make a difference. In this era, the evolution is being televised — and listened to and read and interacted with, one indie media channel after another. We welcome your participation.
