Wildfire is no longer a future risk — it’s a systems problem we have to solve now.
In the first episode of The Anchorpoint, hosts Jay Rosenthal and Reva Seth sit down with Kat Mañalac, Partner at Convective Capital and the force behind the Red Sky Summit, to unpack how fire tech evolved from a handful of siloed conversations into a global ecosystem.
Kat shares:
How Red Sky grew from a 50-person dinner into a 600+ leader convening
Why breaking down silos between firefighters, utilities, policymakers, and technologists is so hard — and so necessary
What the LA fires revealed about innovation gaps and deployment speed
How trust, pilots, and playbooks are accelerating real-world adoption
What Canada (and the rest of the world) can learn from California’s fire tech ecosystem
The Anchorpoint explores the people, policies, and technologies building resilience in a world under pressure — from wildfire and climate risk to the systems that keep communities standing.
