    That's a Wrap! 🎬 Most Played: Nature needs a better bank, with Martin Stuchtey

    🗒️ A note from Ryan, your host: I'm so happy to have put these 80 interviews out into the world, and have made new friends, connections, and gained tons of inspiration along the way. But duty calls at the moment as my volunteer work in Ukraine takes all my time and attention. So I'll call it a wrap for now and hope to be back with new episodes one day. I hope you've enjoyed listening to these episodes as much as I enjoyed making them!  I'll leave you with the most downloaded episode of the series, in case you missed it: ---- Martin Stuchtey is the founder and co-CEO of The Landbanking Group, which aims to support the regeneration of nature and biodiversity through an asset class they call Nature Equity.  Martin talked about how we can protect nature by literally putting a value to it, as well as his own life and career which has ranged from soldier in the German army’s alpine group to management consultant, professor, and now founder. #biodiversity #regeneration #climatetech

    Summer "Break" - Ukraine Volunteering

    I'm going to be spending the summer on the road, delivering humanitarian aid across Ukraine. And needless to say, it's not the best setup for recording a podcast. So things will be quiet here until about October when I'll be back with new episodes, when I'm back settled in Kyiv and in relative peace. If you want to follow my adventures, be sure to follow me on LinkedIn.  Make sure you're subscribed to the podcast so that you'll be notified when new episodes come out. Have a great summer. Thanks for listening.

    Smart Meters, Dumb Rules, and Why AI is the New Electrification, with Felix Krause of Vireo Ventures

    Felix Krause is the Managing Partner at Vireo Ventures, a European VC fund betting that the future of energy is electric, distributed, and intelligently managed. Based in Berlin, Felix brings sector-specific clarity to the sprawling world of climate investing and makes a strong case for why electrons, not moonshots, will define the next great energy transition. In this episode we talked about:  🔋 Why electrification isn’t just inevitable—it’s the most capital-efficient climate solution on offer  🔄 What "sector coupling" means, and how heat pumps, EVs, and industry can all talk to each other  🧠 Why AI is the new electrification, and how it makes an increasingly complex energy system legible  ⚡ The distributed grid, smart meters, and how regulation is slowing everything down  🔐 Why cybersecurity for backyard solar systems might be our next national security crisis  🔌 The dark horses of climatetech: agrivoltaics and bi-directional EV charging #climatetech #electrification #energytransition #VC 👨‍💻 Hiring developers?

    Universities are Reshaping the Future of Food with Ismäel, Lisa, and Jorge of the Alt Proteins Project

    Ismaël Bawah is the SciTech Community Coordinator at the Good Food Institute Europe and the man behind the Alt Protein Project, a global student-powered initiative to transform universities into hubs for alternative protein innovation. Alongside him, we also heard from Lisa Neidhardt of Imperial College London and Jorge Guadalupe of Brazil’s Federal University of Minas Gerais—two campus leaders putting alt proteins on the academic map. In this episode we talked about: 🌱 How the Alt Protein Project scaled to 63 active university chapters and sparked more than 20 new courses and 40+ research projects 🧬 Why fermentation is Lisa’s lab obsession—and how she’s using microbes to upcycle agricultural byproducts into food 🐔 Jorge’s role in creating Latin America’s first fried cultivated chicken (yes, really) and a new university course that ends with Shark Tank-style startup pitches 🧪 How mentorship, money, and microbes are building the alt protein talent pipeline from scratch 🎓 What it takes to get 13-year-olds (and their grandmas) excited about cultivated meat 📈 Why Brazil’s meat giants are pouring money into cultivated alternatives—and how geopolitics might do more for climate action than vibes ever will #climatetech #alternativeproteins #futureoffood 👨‍💻 Hiring developers?

    Sticking with the Software Side of Energy Transition, with Veronique Hördemann of Future Energy Ventures

    Veronique Hördemann is Managing Partner and CFO at Future Energy Ventures, a climatetech VC firm investing in the software layer of the energy transition. From her base in Essen (with a side of Berlin), Veronique talked about going from corporate VC to a fully independent impact fund and why they’ve made a deliberate choice to stay clear of hardware. In this episode we talked about:  🏙️ How they segment their investments across “future energy”, “future cities”, and “future technology”  📉 The real reason they avoid hardware investments (spoiler: it involves capital, time, and regret)  👩‍💼 The diversity problem in VC and why she wants more female-led startups in her pipeline  🔁 What it’s like going from corporate-backed VC to managing a regulated, independent impact fund  🏫 Why she thinks the school system is stifling innovation—and how that’s become personal #climatetech #impactinvesting #venturecapital #VC  👨‍💻 Hiring developers?
