On the fourth episode of Funding a Better Future: Expert Insights from ClimateTech Investors, I spoke to Florian Schabus, Investor at Planet A Ventures.
Planet A Ventures is an impact investor with a difference. They are the first European VC with an in-house science team that calculates life cycle assessments to quantify the impact of a start-up. They invest in bold and brave Founders who are the heroes driving our green transformation. And they help them build a scalable business, because when Founders profit, the planet profits too!
