Managing Director, Topspin Capital Advice
"I joined 9Zero in 2024 to connect with climate tech founders, and I keep going back for the wide range of exciting climate businesses and thoughtful community programming. As an advisor on capital raising and financial management, 9Zero has also given me the opportunity to share my experience with founders and help them develop an appreciation for topics ranging from project finance to offtake structuring.

“I've loved being part of the growth of the 9Zero SF community since it's early days. I've organically started a few initiatives and appreciate the genuine support and participation of 9Zero staff, members, and others invested in the intersection of electrification & autonomy, sharing green living/working tips, and practicing languages. I use the beautiful space for hosting networking meetings and attending the breadth of events, and I'm always on the lookout to include and welcome others to join me at 9Zero!”

9Zero is for climate builders. Within the broad scope of climate, we create interconnected mini-ecosystems. Our clusters focus on specific sub-sectors where industry experts, founders, investors, and operators can find eachother and collaborate. Don’t see your sector represented yet? As a member, you can launch a new cluster!
Whether you’re building a company, a fund, policy, a community, or something else, if you’re working on climate solutions, tell us more about how we can help. -
It’s helpful to have a sense of what kinds of folks you’d like to meet, and to explore our resources, like:
At the same time, we find that often the best things are those you couldn’t have planned for. The more you invest into the community–attending and organizing events, introducing yourself to new people, and sharing your expertise–the more you’ll get back in return.
-
As a first step, we’ll ask you to tell us a bit more about what we’re looking for. Joining a community is an investment, and we want to make sure there is a mutual fit! To that end, we invite you to attend up to 3 events to get a sense for the community and whether it’s right for you.
The next step will be coming in for a visit and meeting some members of the community. We’ll answer any questions you have and get you set up with the membership that best fits your needs!
