AWS Founders Circle Meetup: Is Green the New Gold? Debating the Path to Profit vs Purpose (Amsterdam)
Join us for the Amsterdam Founders Circle meetup for Investors Ecosystem Partners and Startup Founders/Leadership across the Benelux startup community hosted at The Cloud Amsterdam; AWS Office.
We will kick off the afternoon by discussing the hot topic of the growing trend of sustainable investing and its impact on both founders and investors. Investing that considers social and environmental impact has gained significant popularity in recent years with billions of dollars being invested in funds that assess companies based on their environmental social and governance practices. Data shows that investment in climate tech startups by venture capitalists has grown at a rate five times higher than the overall global venture capital market from 2013 to 2019.
If you’re a founder investor passionate about sustainability or just funding-landscape curious join us for an afternoon of insights followed by networking drinks music bites and good vibes.
