Nelson Switzer, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Climate Innovation Capital, invests in mid-stage, cost-competitive climate technology companies across six IPCC sectors: energy, agriculture, the built environment, industrial processes, transportation, and waste. His distinctive thesis centers on identifying and funding "Gigacorns"—climate-tech businesses capable of removing over one billion tons of carbon while achieving valuations exceeding $1 billion. Notable portfolio companies include Mysa (smart thermostats for high-voltage HVAC), Manifest Climate (AI-driven climate risk software), and Kuva Systems (automated methane monitoring). Switzer emphasizes maximizing decarbonization speed and financial return to accelerate the global economy's transition, a philosophy detailed in his book *The Gigacorn Hunter*.
