In this webinar, we will hear from PRIME Impact Fund and Braemar Energy Ventures, two references in the cleantech and greentech arena. PRIME represents philanthropists that place charitable patient capital into market-based solutions to climate change, whereas Braemar was formed by skilled energy-industry veterans to invest venture capital in alternative and traditional forms of energy. We will also hear from Derek Lim Soo, CEO at Peak Power, about their fundraising experience, the challenges they went through, and the lessons learned along the way.
