$3.6B crypto hack recovered + Segment co-founder Peter Reinhardt's next bet: Charm Industrial | E1382
We have a great interview with a serial-founder today! But first, Molly and Jason cover one of the craziest stories of the year. A couple has been charged with conspiring to launder ~$3.6B worth of crypto from the 2016 Bitfinex hack. Ilya is a former YC founder and Heather part-time rapper.
Today’s Guest is Peter Reinhardt, the co-founder of Segment, a customer data platform that sold to Twillio for $3.2B. Peter discusses his new company, Charm Industrial, which is focused on carbon capture and removal. You will learn:
1. How they turn agricultural waste and biomass into a high-carbon fuel
2. The carbon-removal benefits of injecting the bio-fuel into old oil wells
3. Why carbon capture is an important piece of getting to Net Zero
4. The potential impact of Charm Industrial if it succeeds (total CO2 tonnage)
5. Why this process differs from more passive ways of carbon offsets
6. How he landed customers like Shopify & Stripe (and why he thinks companies will continue to do this, even without government regulation)
