What you likely need
You'd get the most out of Festival events that put you in the room with climate-tech investors, global south founders, and impact-capital allocators who can formalize your angel activity into something with real visibility and deal flow. Roundtables and dinners that sharpen your public investment thesis — especially around India, MSMEs, and green energy — would accelerate your positioning as a specialist climate investor rather than a generalist board member who also writes checks. You'd also benefit from intimate gatherings with senior executive cohorts and author-practitioners who can help you monetize your platform beyond board roles.
