#31 Dimitry Gershenson - Non-Dilutive Funding for Entrepreneurs; Capitalism’s Role In Building The New Economy
Jordan sits down with Dimitry Gershenson, Co-Founder & CEO of Enduring Planet, to discuss the importance of non-dilutive funding for early-stage entrepreneurs building in the real economy. Dimitry believes every part of the economy, from cement to diapers, must change to build a clean, resilient future. They discuss:
- Why non-dilutive funding matters and current credit gap left by traditional finance
- Examples of what Enduring Planet finances and how they differ from banks
- Why financial literacy is a blind spot for many founders (and how to fix it)
- The challenges and opportunities of financing decentralized infrastructure projects
If you’re interested in climate tech, decentralized systems, or rethinking how we finance the future, check it out.
