From Hackers/Founders
4.6

Wanna grab a tasty beverage and talk startupish nerdery? First round is on me. :) Hackers/Founders meetups are laid-back affairs. We find a quiet watering hole, hang out and chat about whatever we're working on. It's a great way to get out of a bubble and cross-pollinate because the people who attend are routinely awesome. Last meetup we talked about: \* When AI will take over the world and how will it be monetized \* The latest wave of hacks and what they mean for whatever we're building \* Using language models for new molecular discovery in materials science \* 4th gen nuclear reactors: pebble bed vs. molten salt (srsly, very cool chat) \* How you would crack a 10-year old Dogecoin wallet when you forgot the passphrase \* Startup nightmares and dreams come true Join us for more scintillating conversation on the 21st. See you there :)

By examining flagship programs like the [Electric Home Tour](https://acterra.org/electrification/greenhome/home-tours/), [Induction Cooktop Lending Program](https://acterra.org/electrification/greenhome/#induction), and Workforce & Community Partnerships, she will explore: * Where Tech Fails User Experience: Why great hardware/software stumbles on local permitting, contractor buy-in, and consumer trust. * Innovating Deployment: How Acterra turns complex climate tech into accessible, community-driven behavior change. * How to Get Involved: Tangible ways 9 Zero founders, investors, and operators can mentor, pilot, or support local climate solutions. **Speaker Info** [Lauren Weston](https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenlweston/) is Executive Director of [Acterra: Action for a Healthy Planet](https://acterra.org/), with two decades of nonprofit leadership in fundraising and philanthropy. She is a [Climate Reality Project](https://www.climaterealityproject.org/) Leader and a Senior Fellow of the [Environmental Leadership Program](https://elpnet.org/). **Agenda:** * 5:00 - 5:30 Check-in and networking * 5:30 - 6:30 Presentation and Q&A * 6:30 - 7:00 Open networking **About 9 Zero:** We're a members-only community of founders, investors, scientists, and innovators accelerating climate solutions through meaningful relationships.
