We had the chance to discuss with Siobhan Clarke one of the leading VCs in the #ClimateTech space and an Operating Partner at Launchpad. Working semi-independently from BP (Launchpad’s investor), this “Scale-up Factory” has the vision to generate sustainable change by building and scaling a progressive portfolio of digitally-led businesses which re-imagine energy.

We had a wide-ranging conversation on finding and building the next #ClimateTech unicorns, the traits of successful investors; we geeked out into how #geophysics (and as geophysicists ourselves we definitely enjoyed the insights) is an essential component on how Stryde (a portfolio company) and their nodes could further unlock the potential and applications of/in #geothermal, #CCUS, civil engineering, archeology, among other industries. Finally, we touched on how important #Diversity is, both from the founders and investor perspective. Launchpad is not only chasing but creating the next unicorns, so watch this space.
