Molly Wood
US
Venture Partner
I am the founder and CEO of Molly Wood Media, a climate storytelling and investing firm. I’ve spent almost 25 years covering technology and business as a writer, podcaster, broadcaster, and on television. I’ve worked for outlets including CNET, the New York Times, and Marketplace, and my work has also appeared in Wired and The Atlantic.
In 2017, I started researching and covering climate tech solutions while serving as the host of Marketplace Tech, a weekday national public radio program, and created a narrative podcast series called How We Survive. That work led me to pivot to venture capital in 2022, when I became an early-stage climate tech investor. That experience includes investing in Clarity Movement alongside Amasia.
As a venture partner, I serve as a scout for potential new investments in Amasia’s thesis areas (and invest myself where appropriate); advise Amasia portfolio companies on storytelling for various audiences; and share knowledge about the climate space with the Amasia team.
I live in the Oakland hills with my teenage son, two late-adolescent dogs, and a multitude of hummingbirds, including an alpha male I’ve named Ric Flair, due to his flashy red cape and absurd displays of aggression. I may need to get out more.
