About

Clay Dumas is a founding partner at Lowercarbon Capital who stands out for his unusual pathway from working next door to the Oval Office as a White House aide to becoming the firm's most active investor, personally leading deals rather than operating as a figurehead. His background spanning Obama presidential campaigns, White House digital strategy, and early-stage company building at Lowercase Capital gives him a distinctive approach to helping climate tech companies position their solutions as mainstream products and build the political and commercial coalitions needed to scale.
