Meanwhile, Raaise is a platform connecting investors with climate tech startups, and Electro Ventures has raised $20M and funded 13 EV-related boat, plane and vehicle companies.

Julia, Amy and Jonathan talk about their challenges and successes in 2023, the climate tech sector generally, and their plans for 2024 and beyond.
