S2 Ep 5: How a Climate Tech VC is Helping Founders Create Scalable Solutions

When you start working in climate tech, it’s hard to feel the same way about any other industry. And that’s what keeps Lily Bernicker, Principal at Wireframe Ventures, deep in the trenches.

Nick and Lily get into conversation about why flexibility is critical to be a great climate tech investor, why saying no to companies is still hard, and the challenges of a long feedback loop.

You’ll also hear Lily’s take on why scientists are learning the business playbooks and how that can only help drive forward innovation.
