Show Notes

In this episode, we share the origin story of the Texas Climate Tech Collective, co-founded by Deanna Zhang, Taylor Chapman, and Gabe Malick after a chance meeting in a Brooklyn bar sparked a shared mission to turn Houston into a center for energy transition. We dig into insights from their 2023 Houston Climate Tech Ecosystem report, exploring Houston’s shifting reputation, generational changes in climate attitudes, the role of hubs like the Ion District and Greentown Labs, and the need for more early-stage capital. The conversation highlights both the challenges and momentum behind Houston’s growing climate tech scene and why the city is increasingly positioned for major wins in energy innovation.
