Climate tech CEOs are running a long, consequential, high-stakes race. Where do they go when they hit unfamiliar terrain?
Chris Wedding created Entrepreneurs for Impact so they could turn to each other.

Through Entrepreneurs for Impact, he brings together 45 CEOs of investor-backed climate companies to candidly share what’s working, what’s broken, and what they’ve already learned the hard way.

Chris brings an unusual combination of experience to the room: a PhD in environmental science, a background in private equity and finance, more than 15 years teaching climate tech, investing, energy finance, and strategy at Duke and UNC, and significant time practicing meditation in Thai and Zen monasteries.

We talk about how CEOs navigate capital, focus, changing markets, customers, and the moments when they realize the thing that actually needs to change may be the way they’re leading.
