Wednesday 09/23/26 Saving Humanity Funding Summit
Seven climate tech/cleantech/sustainability founders get four minutes each to pitch a jury of vetted, active investors this Wednesday, online and powered by Pitchtree.
This Wednesday morning, seven health tech and biotech founders will each get four minutes to pitch, followed by four minutes of questions, in front of a jury of vetted, active industry investors. The event is the Saving Humanity Summer Funding Summit's Sustainability Track, run online and powered by Pitchtree in partnership with Venture & Capital International.
The tight format is deliberate. Four minutes to pitch and four minutes for questions doesn't leave room for a rambling founder story or a jury member half-listening while checking email. It forces the pitch down to what actually matters: the problem, the traction, the market, the team and the ask. That same discipline is what we push founders toward before they ever get a slot at one of these events, because a clear four-minute case beats a polished thirty-minute deck nobody has time to sit through.
The jury for this track isn't a list of names collected for optics. It includes active climate tech / cleantech / sustainability investors, networks and operators, such as (to name the usual suspects and the initially confirmed ones) Cleanleap, K2X Capital, Mitsui, Casio, Evolution Life Sciences Partners, Baker Donelson, Keiretsu Forum, Silicon Valley Forum, and a handful of independent business angels with real industry backgrounds,. Every one of them was invited because their mandate actually fits the founders in the room, which is the entire point of running an event this way instead of an open call.
On the founder side, the track brings together seven companies spanning solutions for electrostatic and electromagnetic power sources, natural and nutritional extracts for pet food, AI-powered workflow redefining engineering and global supply chain, AI-powered assistive walkers for everyday mobility, self-serve drive-in stations for refilling store-brand name products, engineered fungi to break down plastic waste into non-toxic biomass, and personalized/on-demand, technology-enabled fashion. Amounts raised range from $500K to $10M.
If you want to watch founders and investors meet under exactly the conditions we've been writing about / discussing for months, and with the incredible support of Pitchtree.ai, the Zoom link is live and the room opens at 9am this Wednesday.
