Shaun Abrahamson: Diving Deep into Hardware, Risk, and a Post-Climate Change World | EP. 047
Shaun Abrahamson co-founded Third Sphere, dedicated to shaping a post-climate change world through venture investments and founder support.
Before Third Sphere, Shaun was an active angel investor, investing in more than 20 firms and 3 unicorns between 2007 and 2013 including ZocDoc, Public, Trialpay, Refinery29, Skycatch, and Tonx. During this time, Shaun also led multiple sustainability-focused projects like Life Edited to design ultra-low GHG apartments in New York City as well as Betacup to cut paper cup waste for Starbucks.
Shaun began venture building at companies like MediaSentry, Starmedia Network, govWorks, and Oculus, with a foundation in climate work from MIT CADLab in 1997.
Shaun has an MBA from the Berlin School of Creative Leadership and a BSc from the University of Cape Town.
