    Why good ideas get trapped in the valley of death— and how to rescue them

    Explore why zero-carbon technologies are vulnerable to the valley of death in product development and how we can change it.--All new products must pass through the "valley of death" before they reach the market. Many never make it out, and sometimes that’s ok— if they don’t work, don’t fill a need, or for any number of reasons. One of the fields where this problem is most pressing is zero-carbon technologies. Why is it vulnerable to this trap, and can we change it? Explore how to break the cycle of the funding gap.Directed by Lisa LaBracioAnimation and art direction by Luísa M H Copetti, Hype CGIn partnership with Bill Gates, inspired by his book "How To Avoid A Climate Disaster": http://bit.ly/PlanForZeroSupport Our Non-Profit Mission----------------------------------------------Support us on Patreon: http://bit.ly/TEDEdPatreonCheck out our merch: http://bit.ly/TEDEDShop----------------------------------------------Connect With Us----------------------------------------------Sign up for our newsletter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdNewsletterFollow us on Facebook: http://bit.ly/TEDEdFacebookFind us on Twitter: http://bit.ly/TEDEdTwitterPeep us on Instagram: http://bit.ly/TEDEdInstagram----------------------------------------------Keep Learning----------------------------------------------View full lesson: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-good-ideas-get-trapped-in-the-valley-of-death-and-how-to-rescue-themDig deeper with additional resources: https://ed.ted.com/lessons/why-good-ideas-get-trapped-in-the-valley-of-death-and-how-to-rescue-them#digdeeperAnimator's website: https://www.hype.cgMusic: https://soundcloud.com/aim-music----------------------------------------------Thank you so much to our patrons for your support!
