In this episode, we talk with Eric Rubenstein, Managing Partner at New Climate Ventures, about investing in early-stage technologies focused on carbon reduction and avoidance. Eric shares how NCV approaches company stage and selection, what the Houston investment landscape looks like from an investor’s perspective, and how the city can better attract innovators from the coasts. We also discuss NCV’s portfolio, the feedback loop between innovators and regulators, how Houston is adapting to gaps in startup funding programs, and how technology priorities are likely to evolve as the energy transition progresses.
