ROTH MKM and Sustain SoCal to Host 6th Annual Sustainability Private Capital Virtual Event on December 6-7, 2023

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- ROTH MKM and Sustain Southern California (“Sustain SoCal”) today announced that they are jointly hosting the 6th Annual Sustainability Private Capital Event (“PCE6”) on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, and Thursday, December 7, 2023. The event will take place in a virtual format.

This year’s conference will consist of Company Quick Pitches and 1-on-1 / small group ZOOM meetings. This format will provide investors from venture capital, private equity, family offices and strategic investors the opportunity to meet with early-stage sustainability companies (mostly A, B, C round companies) in cutting-edge domains, including Solar/Storage, Hydrogen, e-Mobility, Smart City, Circular Economy, Water and AgTech.

“The outlook within the sustainability sector remains mixed. The recent passing of the IRA, the IIJA, as well as a series of state laws have benefitted private companies within the sustainability sector. VCs have also enjoyed new fund creation and the deployment of significant private capital. While these factors contribute to a positive outlook, the rapid increase of both inflation and cost of capital have significantly deteriorated public company valuations and have extended this chilling effect in the private company space,” said Jesse Pichel, Managing Director, Co-Head Sustainability Investment Banking at ROTH MKM.

“Despite the short-term market struggles, we take a long-term approach. We believe the carrot and stick regulations promoting sustainable companies will help mitigate inflationary risks, and the world’s demand for sustainability will continue to gain traction. As such, we continue to support the growth of private companies and have curated a robust group of entities within the sustainability industry for this event,” continued Pichel.

“We are again excited to co-host the event with Sustain SoCal, a leader in promoting economic growth and sustainability initiatives through innovation, collaboration and education. As a founding member of the organization, ROTH MKM remains committed to supporting the sustainability market in Southern California and beyond,” said Robert Stephenson, Managing Director, Co-Head Sustainability Investment Banking at ROTH MKM and a Sustain SoCal Board Member.

"Sustain SoCal is grateful for this continued collaboration with and support from ROTH MKM. ROTH MKM and Sustain SoCal's 30 other board members are the reason the non-profit is a well-known leader in accelerating sustainability initiatives and economic growth. The remarkable growth and success of this annual event is a clear indication that we are moving in the right direction," said Scott Kitcher – President & CEO at Sustain SoCal.

Since 2013, ROTH MKM has been involved in approximately 200 transactions for its Sustainability clients, with total transaction value over $30 billion. (Source – ROTH MKM – 12/01/2023)
