Patrick Brown — Co-Founder
I specialize in corporate innovation and startup partnerships across climate, tech, and data. I currently work on Strategic Growth Campaigns for Deloitte's Climate & Sustainability practice, where I source and evaluate acquisitions, develop market-shaping investments, and build new service offerings in partnership with startups and technology providers. Previously, I was a Senior Investment Associate at Deloitte Ventures in London, where I helped lead the firm's first climate tech investment and managed the full investment cycle from deal origination through close. I co-founded the NatureTech Memos, building a global community of 7,500+ founders, VCs, and industry leaders focused on nature-positive innovation. We've published deep-dive market analyses, created an open-source directory of 1,000+ startups, and shaped investment narratives across biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, and climate infrastructure. My work focuses on: • Strategic partnerships and ecosystem development with startups and technology leaders • Acquisition strategy, venture investment and due-diligence • Market intelligence, competitive analysis, and new venture builds • Building offerings that bridge cutting-edge technology with commercial impact My strengths are strategic partnerships, startup ecosystems, and turning emerging technologies into commercially viable products and services.
