AI-Powered Climate Tech Breakthroughs with Neotribe's Kittu Kolluri, Ep #67
Manage episode 376732632 series 3342257
When it comes to climate tech, there are a lot of new kids on the block, investors that have brought billions of dollars of new capital and have helped fund climate innovation we badly need.
It’s rare that you find folks who have been investing in climate tech for over a decade, let alone two decades. So I was thrilled to sit down with Neotribe’s Swaroop Kolluri who goes by Kittu, a long-time climate investor who sees enormous opportunity in the intersection of different technologies. We talk about several of his investments – from solar to wave energy, to energy storage, to risk resilience – and more generally about the role of AI and other advanced technology in changing the game for climate tech.
Lots to learn and think about in this one. Enjoy!
In today’s episode, we cover:
- [2:24] Neotribe & the opportunity to invest in climate right now
