Sera brings Silicon Valley growth expertise to the founders solving our planet's biggest challenges. As a Climate Tech Investor and Growth Advisor, she partners with technically brilliant founders working on industrial decarbonization, circular economy, bio-materials, and clean energy.
From Maui to San Francisco to Amsterdam, Sera has spent a decade driving growth at companies like Y Combinator, Zendesk, and Webflow—achieving results like 200% acquisition increases. Now she applies these proven methodologies exclusively to climate solutions that matter.
Her $3.6B+ investment portfolio spans advanced materials replacing steel, mushroom biotechnology innovations, and hydrogen infrastructure. As Founder of Conscious Tech Ventures, she provides strategic guidance to climate startups from pre-seed market validation through growth-stage scaling.
