“In order to hit the goal of net zero by 2050, almost half of the carbon reduction technology needed to get there is yet to be deployed or even invented. The problem we are trying to solve is how to accelerate the development of that kind of technology, how to increase investment in that space, and how to get these startups over the valley of death.”- Justine Lee, ClimateHaven President and CEO
Justine Lee, went on Dateline New Haven with legendary New Haven journalist Paul Bass, of the New Haven Independant, to discuss her recent appointment as ClimateHaven President and CEO, and how that aligns with her ambition to support and grow deep-tech startups that focus on mitigating and solving climate challenges.
Some key takeaways from the episode include insight into ClimateHaven’s partnership with the Regional Water Authority (RWA), the Water Innovation Hub, which will foster the development of water technology startups, helping them move from prototyping to full deployment. Justine highlights how climate entrepreneurship is hard, and our founders need resources including capital, mentors, strategic partners, and ClimateHaven is here to help them in all these areas.
