Laura Katzman moved from helping launch Michigan Climate Venture as a graduate student to becoming a full partner at Buoyant Ventures in roughly four years, a notably fast trajectory in climate VC that combines her background as a licensed CPA with deep experience in both public and private market mechanics. She leads Buoyant's research into complex climate-finance areas like voluntary carbon markets and data center decarbonization while focusing her investments on data-rich, enterprise climate platforms that treat AI efficiency and physical infrastructure as core to decarbonization.

Buoyant Ventures is a 100% women-owned venture capital fund that focuses exclusively on digital climate solutions—software and simple hardware that accelerate climate impact without the capital intensity of traditional cleantech—with equal emphasis on both emissions reduction and climate adaptation like flood insurance and risk management tools. The fund combines deep climate investing experience from previous platforms with a structured research engine that systematically maps climate software niches, while using SPVs to lead early rounds and provide hands-on operating support to portfolio companies developing climate transparency, intelligence, and risk products.
