Seb Tranæus on the climate adaptation technology landscape

Climate adaptation technology is the hot investment theme that has in-the-know investors salivating. After all, we know the world is going to get hotter and witness ever-increasing extreme weather events even if we succeed in dramatically cutting fossil fuel emissions. This means products and services that protect against climate impacts will be in high demand. However, being new, the climate adaptation technology space faces challenges. For one, plenty in the venture market are yet to get their arms around the concept of adaptation. For another, working out what business models are viable remains a work in progress. In this episode, Seb Tranæus of Rally Cap VC, a venture fund focused on climate adaptation, discusses these challenges, riffs on some of his favorite startups in the space, and reflects on how the startup and policy ecosystems differ on either side of the Atlantic.
