🎙️ Reflecting on the Latest Climate Insiders Podcast with Nadav Steinmitz 🌍
Three key takeaways really hit home for me from the latest episode:
1️⃣ VCs Need to Rethink Cleantech: Unlike software startups, climatetech ventures take time—**3+ years** before they hit first revenue. That’s not a quick sprint, it’s a marathon. And the gap in FOAK financing is a direct result of this mismatch in expectations.
2️⃣ Herd Mentality in VC Funding: Investors flock to hyped-up climate tech that isn’t ready for prime time. The result? Money poured into solutions that aren’t quite scalable yet, leaving others that are ready starving for capital.
3️⃣ Funding Rebound Ahead: Despite a dip in VC funding over the past two years, Nadav predicts a rebound as the global economy steadies. So, stay sharp—things are about to get interesting.
