Matt Logan built his reputation at Earthshot Ventures by personally reaching out to over 500 companies during Fund I, a hands-on sourcing approach that led directly to investments like KoBold Metals and Etched, and it grew out of a decade-plus climate career that started with a Cleantech Group internship in 2010 and included raising a Series B and $200M in project finance for Advanced Microgrid Solutions. He looks for companies that win on cost and performance first, with climate benefits as a bonus, and applies that lens to areas like AI's energy and infrastructure needs, robotics for dangerous jobs, and space tech for agriculture and wildfire monitoring—an approach he connects to the same all-in mindset that's driven his decade-long pursuit of a sub-2:30 marathon.
