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:

  • 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
