Climate Tech Interviews + Tonight's Lineup with Lowercarbon & Aegon: Sustainable farming, at-home recycling and protein-based lighting
How was your week/weekend? Mine’s been wild and I’ll have some major announcements for you soon depending on when 4WARD.VC’s latest investments close :)
In the meantime, I had the opportunity to go on both the Carbotnic Podcast with James McWalter and the Social Innovation Podcast with Zal Dastur and had a great time discussing all things startups & climate tech investing (both from a startup and an investor perspective). Would love to hear your thoughts on the interview and on the state of climate tech as a whole.
And tonight, we’ve got an INCREDIBLE Startup Tank lineup for you planned so be sure to tune in @ 5-7pm CET and don’t miss a thing.
