E37: Gus Badran - DeepTech, Innovation, CleanTech & Climate Investing (Frontier #1)
The next big trend for Venture Capital? DeepTech & Innovation.
Gus Badran has over 30 years' experience in DeepTech, innovation investing and manufacturing.
We lift the lid on deeptech and cleantech investing, covering: his story from Imperial College to today, the historical interest in cleantech, case studies for how to analyse a deeptech investment, the future energy mix, and views on nuclear power.
We then walk through Gus' investment philosophy, the drivers behind scientific innovation, how to construct a personal investment portfolio, what startups should be focussing on, and even touch on Elon Musk's recent roasting of the BBC interviewer 😎
