Funding the Future: Venture Capital, Emerging Tech and a Better Tomorrow

July 13, 2023 • Axis Communications • Season 1 • Episode 9

We all wish we had a million-dollar idea, that next big thing that changes society for the better. And when inspiration strikes, how do you differentiate between crazy and genius? How do you know if something is in fact a million-dollar idea? For venture capitalists, this is the challenge, and the risks are substantial – but the rewards can be even greater.

In this episode of Connect, we’re joined by Hampus Jakobsson, entrepreneur and partner at Pale Blue Dot, a seed-stage venture capital firm that funds dynamic climate tech startups across Europe and the U.S. During this episode, Hampus shares his views on the deep interdependency between humans and our environment and how innovative thinking and emerging technologies can help us to outpace climate change, reveal amazing discoveries and generate revolutionary new use cases.

We’ll define “climate tech” and explore the latest trends within this sector. Plus, we’ll take a look at the different stages of VC investment as well as the upside and downside of using ESG ratings to judge opportunities. And of course, we’ll examine how emerging technologies are being used in innovative ways and how government regulations, and in some instances, incentives, are impacting development. Join us and discover how today’s VCs are making bold yet meaningful investments in technology to deliver amazingly sustainable solutions.
