Not every climate investor has to be a PhD, Meera Clark says. And she thinks it's even better if new investors — who didn't live through the Cleantech 1.0 bust — join the ranks to evaluate the growing cohort of climate tech startups.
"The markets are more mature and, in my opinion, you need a diversified base of investors," Clark tells Axios.
Why she matters: Clark invests in consumer-focused climate tech companies with Redpoint Ventures, a generalist venture firm with roughly $3.8 billion AUM. She moved to the bigger pond, as it were, from Obvious Ventures, an upstart firm that invested in climate tech before it was a Silicon Valley trend.
