Hey — I’m Maitreyi Menon (Mait). Fellow at Columbia CGEP & CKI. Building at the intersection of climate finance, capital markets, and global development.
This is my digital garden — thinking made public. These are processed notes, not finished essays. Some are half-formed, some are deeply held. Wander around.
Now (Q2 2026)
- Job search: Impact VC, ESG, blended finance, DFI roles
- Building CleanCrop — methane reduction / carbon credits
- Writing about impact finance
- Growing this garden
