The Seed
Welcome to The Seed by 7 Generation Ventures podcast.
Our intention with this podcast, is to shine the light on climate tech, investigate the space, and share the stories from the founders, the investors, and the pioneers who are shaping this critical space at this critical juncture.
We hope that by sharing the stories of the guests that we bring on the show that we provide some of the insights as well as community to those who are pushing the boundaries and working so hard to make the world a better place by building or investing in the engineering companies that are going to be able to make that change.
Thank you for joining us and enjoy the show.
