Today, we’re speaking with Sophie Purdom, Managing Partner of Planeteer Capital.

After co-creating CTVC with Kim Zou, the climate deals and deep-dives newsletter that has become canon in climate, with 75k+ readers, Sophie announced Planeteer Capital.

(We discussed on the pod)

They are going full speed with their investing thesis, investing in companies at the incorporation stage. Something they have been able to do well, given the history and network that Sophie has.
Aside from teasing the future of Planeteer and discussing their unique advantage, Sophie gave us some insights on where the market is now.

One thing that surprised us is how, despite all the negative news, more deals are being done year over year than in years past.

Sophie shares the 4 types of climate tech founders, what they look for picking the right team, and core things to get right when navigating the climate capital stack.

This interview is one we’ve been chasing down for some time, so we’re glad to finally make it. We hope you enjoy the show!
