Welcome back! Today we have a very special guest, Rokas Peciulaitis, managing partner at Contrarian Ventures, an innovative venture capital firm set up to disrupt the energy landscape. We explored the inspiration, the meandering pathways, the role models that Rokas has followed to start the firm with a core climate focused component before it became hype. We explored questions like: How and why he created the energy Tech Summit or the Climate 50 VC benchmark ? It was a fascinating discussion on innovation, on excelling at being a David surrounded by Goliaths coming from the VC world and represented by the multiple incumbents in the energy space. At the end, we geeked out on hydrogen, the expected decline in production technology costs and it will open up multiple industrial applications; i.e. cement, steel manufacturing, among others. Enjoy!
