Start your day with strong coffee, bold ideas, and the people building the future of climate tech. Coffee & Capacitors: Climate x Hard Tech Breakfast is a high-voltage breakfast gathering of founders, funders, and builders pushing real solutions — from hardware to software and everything in between.

Expect rapid-fire insights, candid conversations, and a hands-on crowd that's not afraid to prototype, iterate, and scale what matters—no fluff — just climate tech that ships.

Whether you're deep in the trenches or just climate-curious, come hungry (literally and intellectually).

Kadeya is revolutionizing hydration with its patented closed-loop beverage system that will eliminate single-use bottles forever. Similar to vending machines, Kadeya's stations conveniently and quickly dispense filtered water, as well as carbonated and flavored beverages. Unlike a vending machine, however, Kadeya's patented station dispenses your drink of choice in a reusable stainless steel bottle. When done with the bottle, consumers return it to any station in the network where it is autonomously cleaned, sanitized, inspected, and refilled - all within the same station. Think bike-sharing, but for bottles, and it's reshaping the way we hydrate on the go.
