E43: Planet Positive Lab - Climate Startup Accelerator (Frontier #5)
How can we change the world for the better? 🌍
Dr. Micol Chiesa Churchill and Dr. Chris de Koning recently launched Planet Positive Lab - a climate accelerator building world-leading climate startups in the Oxford ecosystem!
James sits down with the two heads of Planet Positive Lab, discussing: what skills the two guests each bring to the accelerator, what a good climate accelerator looks like, the state of the accelerator landscape, how accelerators can add value, where most accelerators lack, the Oxford University ecosystem, and the need for a specialised climate startup accelerator.
In the second half we cover the profile of a successful founder, what makes a good climate tech investment, the top climate trends, the hardware vs software debate, geographical considerations in climate, how to boost the Global South, the dangers of greenwashing, how to stop corporates from greenwashing, and why being a founder is harder than you think - plus a call to action for any current or wannabe climate entrepreneurs!
