The Wharton Current
What does non-concessionary climate investing actually look like in practice? Ben Huang of Builders Vision joins the Wharton Current to break down how the platform deploys capital from philanthropy to market-rate returns— and why he underwrites climate funds the same way he'd underwrite any other. We cover manager selection, undercapitalized opportunities, the family office landscape, and career advice for students breaking into impact investing. For more on Builders Vision, check out their website and the FT article we reference in the conversation: • BV Website: https://www.buildersvision.com/ • FT article: ft.com/content/f1a7549f-24e5-4591-aeb2-c6b8eea3

We dive into commercializing DAC at scale, raising climate infrastructure capital, navigating policy and 45Q, and partnering with buyers like Microsoft, Stripe, and Frontier to bring first-of-a-kind projects to life.

FAQs
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
