To tackle the question of climate change we visited Carbon Delta and enjoyed the company of CEO & co-founder Dr Oliver Marchand. With him, we tried to answer the questions of the business opportunities of climate change and how to get investors for your startup.

We have hosted so many versatile entrepreneurs in the #StartupShow, but Oliver Marchand has definitely made some of the most interesting career steps we have seen so far. This climate change expert started his career as an ice cream vendor. At one period in life, he was a comedian while, in another, he spent 15 years working in meteorology and weather services. Since he is very passionate about the environment and nature, it’s not surprising that one of his hobbies is cooking with solar power. Today he is the CEO & co-founder of environmental startup, Carbon Delta.

Carbon Delta came up with the most comprehensive model for managing climate and market data risks for portfolio managers. With their measure Climate Value-at-Risk, they provide companies with analysis for both climate-related risks and opportunities. At the moment, Carbon Delta gives answers to 22.000 companies on how climate change will affect their future operations. Watch the video below to learn how!
