Investing in Resilience | Inside TTI's Investor Salon at Climate Week NYC 2026
📍New York, NY | September 22, 2026
TTI @ NYC Climate Week 2026
During Climate Week NYC 2026, Top Tier Impact (TTI) hosted an invitation-only Investor Salon at The Ned NoMad. At this event, 107 institutional allocators, family offices, fund managers, and founders came for one afternoon.
The idea was simple. Put the right people in a room, give them enough time to talk, and don't leave valuable introductions up to chance.
Climate Week events can get crowded. With so many people in attendance, too many people have to cut conversations short in order to speak to as many others as possible. Our goal was to prioritize quality over quantity, which is why we intentionally chose to host a small salon instead of a large panel.
"Resilience is not a hedge. It is the asset. The risks the market still prices as externalities are moving onto the balance sheet, and they will decide what holds value. Places that regenerate the land, the people, and the living systems around them will still be valuable in thirty years. Places that extract from them will not." - Eric Amyot, Managing Partner at Regenerative Development Corporation
