Jaethan Reichel (he/him)

Partner, Bellnote Partners

Jaethan is a Partner at Bellnote, a utilitarian climate investor focused on building the companies and coalitions necessary to start climate repair. In prior investments they worked alongside climate-tech founders from pre-seed to public listings worth over $3.4B.

Jae spent the previous decade as an entrepreneur making (what he hopes were a reasonable number of) mistakes: founding three companies, starting an accelerator, and supporting his music and scotch habits doing pitch and funding process consulting for companies that raised more than $50m.
