Last week, members of the Halcyon team joined investors, philanthropists, founders, fund managers, and ecosystem leaders at SOCAP to explore some of the biggest questions shaping impact investing today.

Throughout the week, conversations focused on topics including regional economic development, ownership models, impact measurement, and the evolving relationship between financial returns and social impact. We also had the opportunity to reconnect with Halcyon alumni, investors, and partners while meeting new organizations and leaders working to strengthen the impact ecosystem.

Thank you to everyone who shared ideas, perspectives, and opportunities for collaboration throughout the week. We're leaving with new insights, new connections, and plenty to build on in the months ahead.

See you next year, SOCAP 🕊️

🌎 Another Climate Week NYC in the books.

This year, the Halcyon team joined conversations on scaling climate ventures, strengthening founder ecosystems, expanding access to capital, and accelerating innovation around the world.

Swipe through a few highlights from the week, including conversations with partners at Deloitte, ServiceNow, Edelman, Hazelwood Network, ClimateWorks Foundation, and The Sidebar.

These moments were just a snapshot of a much bigger week spent connecting with founders, funders, partners, and ecosystem builders committed to advancing climate solutions.

Here's to carrying the momentum forward. 💚

Good founders build great ventures. Great communities help them get there.

Last week, our 2026 Global Climate cohort gathered at Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) for Climate Cohort Pitch Practice, where founders shared their ventures and received feedback from investors, ecosystem partners, and climate leaders.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and support for the entrepreneurs building a more climate-resilient future. 🕊️
