Transforming the world by rewiring capitalism.
Investing for financial gain is what I do.
Solving climate change is my life's work.
AS FEATURED IN:
Nelson Switzer, The Gigacorn Hunter, is a climate technology investor, a venture capitalist, a sustainability strategist, and an author with a compulsion for action.
Nelson and the climate share something in common—neither of them is patient. And in a world racing toward irreversible tipping points, Nelson believes incrementalism has no place.
“The time for small moves is over,” he told a packed crowd at the CFA Society of Boston.
“It’s big moves only time.”
That’s why he spends his time moving capital, ideas, and people toward bold, necessary shifts, driving a transition rooted in prosperity, decarbonization, and fairness.
