The Venturing in Climate (ViC) podcast was born to shine a light on climate tech entrepreneurs, investors and policymakers who are leading our efforts to tackle climate change. Hosted by Henry Hamilton, an early-stage climate tech investor, ViC helps unpack the key technologies, trends and insights for building a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Henry has over 7 years of investing experience across a variety of public and private markets, including 2 years in climate VC. He also has worked for Bulb's CEO team during 2020.
