This week we're talking with Craig Lawrence, a climate-tech investing veteran, former "hardcore mechanical engineer," and now a partner at Energy Transition Ventures.
Why he matters: Lawrence previously led energy investing at Accel, one of the few firms to notch — and keep — big wins during Cleantech 1.0, including well-timed exits from Sunrun and OPower.
Fast forward to today, his firm Energy Transition Ventures has about $75 million AUM. It celebrated the one-year anniversary of its first fund launch in April.
