Join the cleantech community for a talk by Ben Soltoff as he discusses his bestseller, Disciplined Entrepreneurship for Climate and Energy Ventures.
Disciplined Entrepreneurship for Climate and Energy Ventures (DE4CEV) is the first how-book specifically on climate and energy entrepreneurship. It offers a hands-on guide to building impactful solutions for people and the planet, developed from the two-decade track record of MIT’s Climate & Energy Ventures course, which has spun out over 65 ventures that have raised $2.3 billion in funding and created over 2500 jobs.
The book features dozens of case studies of these companies, as well as other that have navigated this unique journey, with a focus on lessons learned around developing robust financial strategies, navigating complex policy landscapes, and measuring planetary impact. DE4CEV launched in November 2025 and made it onto the USA TODAY Best-Selling Books List in its first week of release. You can learn more about the book here.
At this event, Ben will delve into the unique challenges and opportunities that climate and energy entrepreneurs face, highlighting why a specialised framework is essential for success in this field. He will also share case studies of companies that have navigated this unique journey. In particular, he will discuss how the book integrates lessons learned from these ventures, such as developing robust financial strategies, navigating complex policy landscapes, and measuring planetary impact.
This will be a highly practical and actionable session for anyone starting a venture, aspiring to start a venture, or generally supporting entrepreneurs in climate and energy. The event takes place on Friday, Feb 27 from 6 pm to 8 pm GMT, at UCL BaseKX, London.
