On the ninth episode of Funding a Better Future: Expert Insights from ClimateTech Investors, I spoke to James Manktelow, Angel Investor and CEO Mentor at Green Angel Syndicate.
Green Angel Syndicate is the UK's largest network of specialist investors fighting climate change, searching out, assessing and selecting the innovations that will make a difference, and then investing in them to enable their development. They focus on companies whose radical grassroots innovations introduce the technology, machinery and process required for the practical changes needed throughout the global economy that will slow down, arrest and then reverse global warming.
