Description

We're joined by Dandelion co-founder and President Kathy Hannun on this week's show. Kathy tells us how her time at Google X led her to creating Dandelion, a startup focused on making geothermal energy accessible to all. She shares what it's like to work at Google's famous moonshot factory, how she came to pursue a moonshot of her very own, and how she grappled with the realization that her startup needed to significantly change gears to serve its target market.Links for this week's episode:Geothermal home heating gets a $30 million boost from Bill Gates’ Breakthrough Energy VenturesDandelion Energy, the Alphabet X spin out, raises another $16M led by GV and ComcastDandelion's websiteConnect with us:On TwitterOn InstagramVia email: found@techcrunch.com

Found is a show about founders, and company-building, featuring people actually doing the work. Each week, we interview one early stage startup founder about how they took the plunge to begin with, and how they navigate everything from building product roadmaps, to raising funding from some of the world’s top investors – and to how they manage failure, too. Found is hosted by TechCrunch News Editor Darrell Etherington and Managing Editor Jordan Crook. We are produced by Maggie Stamets with editing by Kell Keller. Henry Pickavet manages TechCrunch's audio products.
