VC in the Green Transition: Gabriel VanLoozen, Powerhouse Ventures
Welcome back to Bright IDEAs podcast! I've decided to make the theme of this season's first episode (VC in the Green Transition) into my focal series as host; with a major geothermal IPO this past week and recent announcements of big tech companies contracting with moonshot climate startups, it's clear that clean energy innovation is emerging as vital to the future of the grid. I intend to host guests from across the climate entrepreneurship space, both in terms of vertical, and in terms of role (founder, funder, operator, community-builder, product, etc.). Today, we welcome Gabriel VanLoozen, a Principal at Powerhouse Ventures. He offers his unique perspective at the intersection of B2B software and decarbonization, touching on soucing and diligence, the implications of AI in the space, scaling and the 'green premium,' and his own experiences/motivations in the field.
