"There's a substantial amount of political power and sort of latent capacity that has been untapped among the emerging climate industrialists," says Shomik Dutta, co-founder of Overture. This highlights how many influential figures in the climate tech industry are rallying behind Kamala Harris's campaign, underscoring the potential impact of integrating climate-focused entrepreneurs into the political landscape.
"The fundraiser will help plug people into existing networks like the group Clean Energy for America," Dutta said, indicating a strategic effort to mobilize support for clean tech initiatives during the election season. The involvement of various climate VCs and founders reveals a deep commitment to harnessing political influence for climate-related issues.
A brief list of participants includes notable names like Dawn Lippert and Chris Sacca, showcasing strong backing from leaders in the climate tech space. Their collective efforts via "Climate for Kamala" aim to secure substantial funding for climate initiatives and reinforce the political voice of the climate industry.
Dutta mentions organizing people in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania, using tech-enhanced relational organizing, which reflects the innovative approach being taken to connect climate industry workers with the electoral process and mobilize them effectively.
