Hello Friends,
Today, we’re celebrating one whole year of ClimateHaven!
In the last twelve months, we’ve built an amazing community of founders, mentors, climate champions, investors, and EIRs—all working together to develop and deploy deep tech solutions that tackle the climate crisis. This year has been full of exciting steps forward including new partnerships, members and leadership.
We have had one bold year, and here's to an even brighter future.

Senator Chris Murphy at The United States Senate, and his team, made a visit to our hub at 770 Chapel Street, the 25th of October. He engaged with our founders in the space, meet our staff, and discussed ClimateHaven's big plans for the future.
Here are some key take-aways from our meeting with Senator Murphy we want to highlight:
👉With ClimateHaven’s wraparound support services, Connecticut entrepreneurs are building sustainable solutions to the climate crisis.
👉Capital is necessary for ClimateHaven to support them with climate tech development and climate tech deployment.
👉Connecticut is at an inflection point, as is New Haven. Things have never been brighter here. Now's the time for climate tech companies to build here.
We’re grateful for the Senator’s continued advocacy and commitment to our founders, ClimateHaven, and the broader Connecticut climate tech ecosystem.
