Deep Tech & AI Innovations in ClimateTech with Tom Chi - Light Dao Salon (SF)
Join Light Dao and our community of conscious entrepreneurs and investors for a salon evening filled with connection, deep conversations, and a fireside chat with Tom Chi and Ruby Yeh, Co-Founder of Light Dao.

Special Salon Guest: Tom Chi
I am truly thrilled to be diving in with Tom Chi on his latest insights about how humanity can radically reverse the damage we have caused our home planet to achieve "a net positive for nature." Tom will reveal the groundbreaking ways AI and Deep Tech are accelerating these solutions, by redefining our approach to ClimateTech and sustainability.
We'll also discuss how he evolved from an insatiable scientist to a technology executive for several tech giants—including as a founding leader with GoogleX—to now being recognized as a visionary fund manager driving innovation in ClimateTech.
I will invite Tom to share what ignited his commitment to solving the climate crisis through science and technology, his path to raising a major fund as a first-time immigrant Managing Partner, and how 40% of At One Venture's founders today are underserved BIPOC entrepreneurs.
It will be a rare opportunity to hear Tom share his unique philosophies on the interconnectedness of life, humanity, and consciousness—distilling science and technology into profoundly simple and actionable insights."
