Season 2 Episode 3 of the weekly YouTube video (and Podcast) series with Bryan Guido Hassin of Third Derivative and Danny Kennedy of New Energy Nexus. They discuss the journey these two companies have chosen to take, to boldly build the world's largest climate tech accelerator.

Season 2 Episode 3: Lessons learned from startup-mentor pairing.

Guest: Keenan Johnson

Featured Company of the week: Startup: Nithio

Nithio is a data-enabled analytics and financial intermediary platform to scale off-grid electrification. The team is driven and well-suited to solve the most thorny constraints to reaching scale for deploying pay-to-go energy service financing in sub-Sahara Africa: limited data on customer creditworthiness, resulting in lacking clarity on repayment behaviors, and in turn resulting in imprecise return, poor liquidity, and limited opportunities to secure scalable commercial financing.
