💡 Top 100 Climate Tech Startup To Watch

Tech, like many other industries, has been going through a tricky period in 2022. Public value is down, and more than 120,000 layoffs have been announced at close to 800 companies.

But despite the numbers, Alexandro de la Garza believes this is in fact a time for counterintuitive optimism - in particular he puts forward that big tech deflation will transfer important capital, attention, and talent to climate tech.

Climate Tech is the Europe's fastest-growing startup segment this year. And in the US, the Inflation Reduction Act has unlocked hundreds of billions of dollars for climate companies. With more money now available, many climate companies are on the hunt for talent. On Dealroom's Impact Job Board, there are currently 11K+ live jobs at climate tech startups.

Whether you're looking to join a new company or invest in one, team, timing and traction are always key. Discover the top 100 climate tech startups to watch, based on Dealroom Signal.
