Over a century ago, the industrial revolution brought wealth and opportunity to a generation of American innovators. It also brought us dirty coal power and a sky clogged with carbon emissions. The good news? There’s a new generation of entrepreneurs eager to make their fortune by fighting global warming. Creative start-ups are coming up with fresh, climate-friendly ideas for getting around town, powering your cell phones, and even eating breakfast. And there is a growing number of forward-thinking venture capitalist firms eager to seek out and nurture those innovative thinkers.

A discussion about clean tech startups and how they could help save the world.

Guests:
Lidiya Dervisheva, Associate, G2VP
Davida Herzl, CEO and Co-Founder, Aclima
Gabriel Kra, Managing Director, Prelude Ventures
