Kiel Berry built and led the venture arm for Grammy-winning band Linkin Park, where he invested early in companies like Lyft, Robinhood, and Impossible Foods, blending entertainment and top-tier venture investing in a way that's rare among climate-focused investors today. He approaches investing through three existential threat lenses—climate change, resource depletion, and inequality—and only backs companies that directly address at least one of these macro-societal risks rather than just climate broadly.

• Deep investment focus on climate technology and environmental sustainability, actively seeking out seed-stage startups solving existential problems. He celebrates legislative wins for the sector and highlights the urgent need for tangible solutions to reduce atmospheric carbon levels.
• Strong advocacy for the Miami tech ecosystem, specifically pushing for the city to become a global hub for climate innovation. He champions local initiatives to protect natural infrastructure and views the region as a resilient asset distinct from the broader market.
• Emphasis on founder resilience and long-term strategy, advising entrepreneurs to avoid snap decisions during industry crises like the SVB collapse. He suggests that challenging economic times are actually the best moments for startups to become operationally efficient and opportunistic about hiring top talent.
• Global perspective on innovation and community building, regularly traveling to hubs like Berlin, Paris, and New York to connect with co-investors and founders. He pays attention to how different cities handle infrastructure, such as praising multi-modal transport systems, and values in-person connections over virtual ones.
