In Episode 126, Quinn meets his newsletter heroes: Kim Zou & Sophie Purdom (and Sophie's Polish rabbit), co-founders of the independent and highly-influential media outlet Climate Tech VC.

Kim works with Energy Impact Partners, a venture capital firm investing in climate technology. Sophie works as an investor in early stage climate technology businesses.

Together they write Climate Tech VC, the data-obsessed, essential take on the opportunities, deals, and news in the flourishing climate tech scene.

There is a massive cost that comes with transitioning, you know, every single existing building and vehicle, not to mention all of our power and infrastructure to green tech. While it’s arguably the biggest challenge of our time, it is also quite possibly the biggest market opportunity ever.

Kim and Sophie discuss the sustainability of volunteer advocacy, and managing the currency of free time as this work becomes people’s second jobs--without the pay.

They also outline the action steps you can take, whether an investor, journalist, or a student looking to make the leap into the climate tech space -- because (so fun) it’s now or never!

Together With Avocado Green Mattresses

At the start, Avocado just wanted a mattress that made a difference.

One that was greener — better for people and the planet. It was a simple idea, rooted in a much bigger vision.

And as they’ve grown — from bedding, to furniture, to bath, and now to beauty and apparel, they’ve stayed true to that singular dream: To be one of the most sustainable companies on the planet.
