Where investing matters most: Insights from top climate fund managers
Learn about funding growth, the valley of death and much more.
In 2020 and 2021, a surge of early-stage venture capital fueled numerous innovative companies. Now, as these startups come back to the market to raise new funding rounds, they require additional capital to scale. Join this webinar to gain insights from two leading fund managers within our Climate Tech Portfolio Fund III on:
- How they view the funding gap at Series B/C (a.k.a the Valley of Death)
- Why we are talking about it now
- How it relates to climate tech (inc. examples)
- Whether now still is a good time to invest from an impact and returns perspective
- What is their outlook for Q4 2024 and 2025
And much more! We’ll also leave time for you to ask all of your questions.
Below you can find an introduction to the fund managers.
Speakers
Cameron McLain, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Giant Ventures**
As an entrepreneur, Cameron deeply enjoyed the process of creating something out of nothing and admires those who are single-minded in their determination to create something meaningful and of excellence. As an investor, he tries to identify value and talent where others don’t and to support those building the companies that matter. He reads a lot and seeks to connect the dots by observing the world around him.
Cameron graduated cum laude from Princeton University and received an MBA from UCLA Anderson as a Merit Fellow. He has spent some time investing at Hummingbird Ventures, built and sold a social analytics company, and was lucky to be an early angel investor in some great companies like Mighty Buildings, Uber, Ethereum, Ada, and Carta.
Dr. Rachel Slaybaugh, Partner at DCVC**
Before joining DCVC, Rachel was an Associate Professor of Nuclear Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, where she held leadership roles in several data science and entrepreneurship efforts. She also served as a Program Director at the Department of Energy’s ARPA‑E, where she created the nuclear fission program and managed the agriculture portfolio as well as solar and virtual reality teams. Rachel received a master’s degree and PhD in nuclear engineering and engineering physics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Outside of DCVC, Rachel co-founded the Good Energy Collective and currently serves on its board. She is also an independent director for Radiant, a microreactor company.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Investments into private equity are speculative and risky. The value of investments can vary over time. Investments into private equity have a long horizon (exceeding 10 years) with no or limited liquidity. If you cannot afford to potentially lose your full investment, it is best not to invest. Past performance does not guarantee future returns. Investing in a private equity fund is not comparable to a deposit with a bank."
