Climate tech is heating up, and investors are taking notice. This week on Inspiring Perspectives, we gained invaluable insights from Ramsay Siegal, a partner at the $94 million climate tech venture capital firm, Earthshot Ventures. With over 15 years of experience in the energy and climate sector, Ramsay's optimism about the future of climate technology is both refreshing and encouraging. Our discussion unveiled expert advice for founders and professionals in the sustainability space. Key takeaways include the undervalued importance of sales skills, the critical role of good design in business success, and strategies to avoid common founder pitfalls. Ramsay emphasizes that now is a prime time to enter the climate solutions field, highlighting the growing link between revenue and environmental impact.

World Fund's Daria Saharova recently spoke with the team at WIRED to discuss why many across the VC sector are misallocating capital intended for climate tech. Despite there being insufficient capital at present to fund the tech solutions we need to mitigate the worst consequences of the climate crisis, we are still seeing funding going into companies with limited climate impact. Here are the top takeaways from the interview: 💶 To achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, we have to increase the amount of capital invested in climate tech by a staggering 590%. 🛴 The mobility sector accounts for only 15% of emissions - yet received around 48% of climate capital in 2022. 🏭 85% of emissions receive only 52% of climate capital - with more polluting industries like manufacturing, food and agriculture, and the built environment being underfunded. The piece also delves into World Fund’s climate performance potential metric, and our focus on total avoidable emissions (our version of TAM) during the investment decision process. You can read the full piece here. Thanks to Greg Williams and Stephen Armstrong for featuring us! https://bit.ly/49eGFm3 #climatetech #climatefinance #marketing #emissions
