My guest on the first episode of the podcast is Heidi Lindvall, General Partner at Pale Blue Dot (https://paleblue.vc/), which is a venture capital firm focused on investing in climate tech companies.
Before the episode starts, I have a quick intro to why I'm starting Open Sustainability Talk, and the associated knowledge-sharing network, Open Sustainability Network: https://open-sustainability.network/
In the episode itself, Heidi and I speak about:
- Heidi's slightly atypical journey and how she got into the climate tech VC game
- The breadth of the existing solutions that is also reflected in Pale Blue Dot's portfolio of investments
- The role that technology has in sustainability
- The human resources necessary for sustainability and the problems around matching impact companies with the best talent out there
- Misconceptions that entrepeneurs have about what qualifies one to develop climate solutions
- Sustainability entrepreneurship and how to gain access to funding
- How pale blue dot finds prospects
- ... and more
Thank you for listening, and I hope you enjoyed it.
