ESA x SISA Fireside Chat with Tom Ferguson (Founder & Managing Partner of Burnt Island Ventures - Water VC)

We would like to invite you to a presentation and fireside chat with Tom Ferguson; this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in entrepreneurship, VC, or combating the impending threat of climate change.

Tom is the Founder and Managing Partner of Burnt Island Ventures, which invests in cutting edge, early stage water companies (see their portfolio here: https://www.burntislandventures.com/portfolio)

Why does Burnt Island Ventures focus on Water? The reason is simple:

“We are at a turning point. From the wildfires of the Western US to flooding in Niger, climate change is here. Water resources across the world will be under increasing stress as the world warms. Products and services that allow individuals, governments and companies to navigate this change will see more and more demand. Entrepreneurs are emerging with the skill and insight to meet that demand, developing solutions to water problems at scale. Burnt Island Ventures exists to find, fund and support the best of these founders.” (from https://www.burntislandventures.com/the-challenge)
