Childhood friends Jeremy Brewer and Sam Levac-Levey started their first clean energy startup in 2018.
Six years later, they're launching a new venture fund to invest in climate tech companies overlooked by their peers.
According to PwC's 2023 study on the state of climate tech, more than 70% of investment went into energy and mobility.
Brewer said Starshot is looking to invest in companies that offer "gigaton-scale solutions, that can increase their customers' profitability and revenue."
They entered a climate tech accelerator in Canada called Creative Destruction Lab, where they worked for months to perfect their plan.
