In this panel from the 2023 SOSV Climate Tech Summit (Sept 26-27, 2023), three experts discuss the topic of funding first-of-a-kind projects and the challenges and risks associated with it. They emphasize the importance of defining such projects and the need for different types of capital, such as government funding, venture capital, and philanthropic funding. They also highlight the significance of selecting the right partners and considering equity issues and community engagement for impactful climate solutions.
