Beyond carbon: reimagining impact Venture Capital with Melina Sánchez Montañez

June 13, 2023

00:00 / 01:04

Melina Sánchez Montañéz has covered some ground, from working on Wall Street to serving as a diplomat. Today she combines her finance expertise and interest in public policy as a cleantech investor at AENU in Berlin.

We talked about why traditional venture capital is broken, why carbon isn’t the only metric that matters for the climate, and the problem with climate bros.

Melina offers fresh perspectives on what needs to change in our investment approach to solve a crisis that is both happening now but also needs lots of future planning, on the problem with incremental change, and how Berlin is on the rise in all things climate. Melina's hero is Cecile Bilious.
