About Cleantech Leaders Roundtable

Cleantech Leaders Roundtable (CTLR) is the premier private network for senior leaders advancing resilient infrastructure, energy independence, and economic security. As a 501(c)(4), we bring together a trusted community of founders, funders, and changemakers to spark ideas, build deep relationships, and drive forward the conversations that matter—from decarbonization to long-term energy strategy and environmental stewardship.

What We Do

We convene. We connect. We catalyze. CTLR helps members share insights, uncover investment and partnership opportunities, and shape the next chapter of a secure, resilient energy future—together.

Who’s at the Table?

Trailblazers and builders: Exit veterans, breakthrough entrepreneurs, mission-driven investors, and seasoned innovators gearing up for their next big move. Membership is by invitation, and everyone sits equally at the table.

Our 501(c)(3) Partner: Cleantech Leaders Climate Forum

The Cleantech Leaders Climate Forum expands our mission through a public-facing 501(c)(3) platform. It produces high-impact programming to elevate strategic dialogue, foster cross-sector collaboration, and educate broader audiences on the importance of advancing resilient infrastructure, energy innovation, and environmental stewardship.

How We Work Together

The Cleantech Leaders Roundtable and the Cleantech Leaders Climate Forum are sister organizations working in tandem to promote energy independence, long-term resilience, and environmental stewardship. While CTLR focuses on peer-driven collaboration and private-sector leadership, the Climate Forum amplifies those insights in the public sphere—through education, convenings, and cross-sector engagement. Together, we bridge communities and scale solutions.

“Our membership in the Cleantech Leaders Roundtable is proving to be extremely valuable for EPIcenter. The prevailing negative messaging for the cleantech industry is a hindrance to the growth and proliferation of the very technologies we are working to bring to market. The collaboration among the membership to combat the negative media sow positive messages and the relationships built are rewarding and, I believe, proving effective.”
“CTLR epitomizes Margaret Mead's adage ‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.’ CTLR brings together leaders who have not only have a common mission to save the world, they want to help each other succeed in doing it.”
“CTLR is a community of the innovators and thought leaders in the Cleantech industry. CTLR gives me the opportunity to foster relationships with investors, cutting edge CEOs and senior policy advocates which go beyond the normal course of business. These connections are simply unmatched by any other industry organization.”
“The group we founded to give cleantech a bigger voice has grown into a thriving community alongside the sector. Now my own green hydrogen start-up is co-hosting CTLR events at renewable energy conferences, to which we can invite potential clients and partners who share our vision. The ecosystem we're creating together is helping us all to collaborate with other leaders in the field and speed up the transition to a low-carbon economy.”
