Evan Taylor

I am a climate tech leader with global experiences, who works on projects beyond sustainability and toward restorative models inherently improving the environment and local ecosystems. I believe businesses should strive for restorative cycles in their supply chains and operations, not just carbon neutrality and renewable resource utilization.

The last decade of my career was spent developing new technologies improving natural resource and energy efficiency of agriculture, water infrastructure, and most importantly, sustainable food production. As a serial Founder and CEO, I've grown biotech ideas from the lab scale to 20+ person companies producing at the industrial scale.

I am currently a Co-PI on multiple U.S. Department of Energy Research Awards in collaboration with Arizona State University's Arizona Center for Algae Technology & Innovation and Burge Environmental, Inc., and work on improving carbon measurement and accounting methodologies in collaboration with researchers at the University of Oxford.

As a mentor with the Entrepreneur Forum (Formerly the MIT Enterprise Forum and The Capital Network), I support other founders in developing their capital raise strategy with a focus on disruptive climate tech ventures. I’m actively involved in supporting regional economic development; I consult in startup advisement, project planning, and financial modeling for new ventures in the environmental, biotechnology, and sustainable energy & agriculture spaces.

I’ve led commercialization and product development working with a small environmental sensor instrument company on 9 awarded Phase I, Phase II, and Phase IIB Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants currently being used in research at both Arizona State University and Colorado State University, and industrially within the water and wastewater industries.

I work out of Boston, Massachusetts, but collaborate with partners all over the world.
