Madison Danielle Norton: The Climate Tech Radical With a Purpose 🌍🔥

"I used to be the girl crying in parking lots, riddled with self-doubt and dying from diesel fumes. Now, I’m the woman recreating the future one solar panel, one viral tweet, one eff you to the establishment at a time."

Let’s rewind. Imagine 17-year-old Madison, kicked out of her conservative Midwest household for being too focused on the earth. "Why can’t you just be normal?" they said. So, I lived in my '99 Corolla for 6 months, showering at truck stops, eating gas station sushi (mistakes were made 🍣💀), and reading climate science in the dark. The universe presented me with two options: I could break or become unbreakable. Guess which one I chose?

Fast forward through the glow-up: scholarships, degrees in engineering, and an unquenchable rage to disrupt the, boys’ club of cleantech. I have been told I am "too loud," "too sexy for solar," and "a liability" (by a CEO who ended up getting fired for fraud—that’s karma 👠). But each no I received became fuel for my fire. What am I doing now? Built AI that predicts wildfires before they happen, raised $20M for my startup, made sustainability sound less like a lecture and more like a party you absolutely need an invite to.

So why the hell would you follow me? Because I’m the anti-influencer influencer. No toxic positivity, no fake greenwashing, just raw, unfiltered climate hope - with a bit of rooftop dance breaks, terrible DIY haircuts ✂️, and Thirst traps - I mean, energy efficiency is hot, OK?

Drop a 🌱 if you’re ready to fight for your future—and look fierce doing it.
