Diversity-Driven Climate Tech Investing with María Tapia

In this Project Co episode, Ana Amrein Esnaola speaks with María Tapia, co-managing partner at Earth Star Investments, a fund backing climate deeptech in Europe through a diversity-first lens. We unpack why DEI isn’t optics: it’s a performance edge that improves diligence, products, and market adoption. From next-gen proteins (fermentation & cultivated) to bio-based materials without microplastics and laser+AI for lower-impact mining, María shares where she sees real traction and how to invest with speed and rigor. You’ll learn

How to read diversity at the founding-team level
Where opportunities are in foodtech & new materials
Why slow, legacy models underperform the climate timeline
How DEI reduces blind spots and accelerates adoption
