      • Jamil Wyne

        Advisor, investor, professor and author focusing on climate technology and investment around the world

      • About me

        broken image

        I am a specialist in climate technology and investment in emerging markets, focusing on venture capital, entrepreneurship ecosystems, and climate finance, among other sectors.

         

        I have spent my career working with development finance institutions, impact investment firms, and technology startups, including the World Bank, International Finance Corporation, Schmidt Futures, Clean Energy Venture Group, the United Nations, Oxford University, the World Wildlife Fund, Wamda, Ashoka, and Mercy Corps.

         

        I am the founder of the Climate Tech Bootcamp, a global platform supporting early-stage founders, and a co-founder of Riffle Ventures, a company supporting the creation of high-impact venture studios.

         

        I have advised governments on their climate tech and climate finance strategies, and am also an investor in multiple climate-tech startups. I have also helped to build funds and technology ecosystems in a range of countries, including Jordan, Greece, Serbia, Singapore, Oman, Ukraine, Egypt, Japan, Kuwait, Iraq and Bangladesh.

         

        I am currently a Fellow at the Truman National Security Project and an On Deck Climate Tech Fellow. I was also a Fulbright Fellow, and a Fellow at New America Foundation, and am also an adjunct professor at George Washington University.

         

        My work has been featured or cited in SSIR, WEF, McKinsey, TechCrunch, Wall Street Journal, Innovations Magazine (MIT), Al-Jazeera, World Bank, United Nations, Brookings, and Wharton publications, as well as university curricula and books.

         

        I have an MBA from INSEAD, an MA from Johns Hopkins SAIS, and a BA from Bowdoin College.
