As a former Army Special Operations Officer, Jacob Sweed learned firsthand the importance of adaptability, leadership under pressure, and making quick, critical decisions. These skills, while indispensable in the military, also serve as vital tools in the business world.


Jacob embarked on his post-military journey by testing the waters of corporate America. His first stop? Google, where he gained insight into the fast-paced world of big tech. Working in an environment known for its innovation and data-driven decision-making was eye-opening for Jacob.
Climate change is, without question, one of the defining challenges of our time. For Jacob, the realization that he could contribute meaningfully to this global issue came after his exposure to the venture capital space.


To further his impact and refine his business skills, Jacob enrolled as an MBA candidate at Harvard Business School. The program offered him a chance to dive deep into the skills necessary to lead in the climate tech space.
