Powerhouse Founder & CEO Emily Kirsch


Listen Later

Over the past four years, we’ve interviewed 40 incredible founders and CEOs on Watt It Takes.

Our guests have inspired emerging and established leaders across the industry. And each one of these conversations has helped Emily on her own founder journey.

With that in mind, in this episode of Watt It Takes, we’re turning the mic around to tell Emily’s story and the story of Powerhouse.

Today, Powerhouse is an innovation firm and venture fund — working with the world’s leading companies to help connect them to hundreds of climate tech startups every year, and investing directly in software-focused clean energy and mobility startups through Powerhouse Ventures. Emily’s path to start Powerhouse was anything but conventional.
