A new wave of venture-backed startups will play a big role in the way we address climate change.

On April 14th, 2021, Jason Jacobs joined High Alpha Partner Mike Fitzgerald for a virtual fireside chat about his background and perspective on this very timely and important topic.

In 2016, Jason’s company Runkeeper, one of the largest fitness apps and communities, was acquired by ASICS. Post-acquisition, he turned his attention to climate change and understanding how he could address the problem with his skillset as a long-time software entrepreneur.

He is now a venture investor and the host of the My Climate Journey podcast dedicated to those seeking to understand climate change better and how to help. The show also includes a bi-weekly startup series dedicated to showcasing new climate tech startups.
