Meet the founder

Pat Casey

I’m Pat Casey, founder of Tropicali Ventures, where my mission is to empower early-stage founders to scale with confidence. With a background spanning Wall Street finance to climate tech innovation, I bring a unique perspective rooted in practical growth and strategic insight.

My journey began as a Syndicates Director at Morgan Stanley, where I learned the ins and outs of complex financial systems. Moving to California, I took on climate tech as Director of Finance at Arqlite, helping lead the charge in sustainability and innovation. Today, I partner with founders and startups, especially in climate tech and the built environment, to tackle strategy, operations, and fundraising challenges.

At Tropicali Ventures, I offer more than guidance—I dive deep, working alongside you as if your business were my own. Whether you’re navigating early growth hurdles, building financial structures, or preparing to scale, I’m here to provide the expertise, tools, and tactical support you need to succeed.

If you’re ready for a hands-on advisor who’s invested in your journey, let’s connect and build something extraordinary together. For more about my background and experience, check out my LinkedIn profile.
