🎙️ Episode 9 is live! This time we sit down with Anay Shah, co-founder of Stepchange, to talk about building venture-scale climate and energy solutions.
If you’re raising capital in climate tech — or considering whether venture funding is the right fit at all — this episode is a must-listen.
What do we cover?
1. Impact + scalability go hand in hand. A solution isn’t enough if it can’t scale commercially. And a scalable business without measurable impact won’t cut it either. Founders need both.
2. Not every great business is venture-scale. Some models can be fantastic, profitable companies — but they may never meet VC growth expectations. Knowing which path you’re on matters.
3. Endurance is everything. Building something meaningful takes 10+ years. Founders driven by deep, intrinsic motivation are the ones who can survive the grind and see their vision through.
🎧 Tune in for Anay’s perspective on what separates climate ventures that attract capital from those that don’t — and how to align vision, scale, and impact from the very beginning.
