Pippa Gawley: “Profit because of purpose”

Today’s guest is Pippa Gawley, Founder and Director of Zero Carbon Capital.

In this episode, Pippa explores why lithium is becoming the new gasoline, the cultural differences between UK and US venture capital, and making a healthy financial return because of purpose (not in spite of it).

In addition, Pippa discusses why:

Governments should implement legally binding targets for every year up to 2050 (to hold current governments to account and not just future ones)
Carbon emissions need to be priced more accurately
Deep-tech startup founders need to keep the faith
Innovate UK and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) grants are helping scientific and deep-tech companies to innovate over longer time horizons
The UK’s Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) is compelling tax relief for investors
