How to build 25 climatetech companies in 5 years

Podcast • Another ClimateTech Podcast

Jonny Everett didn't want to build his own climatetech company, so he decided instead to launch Marble, a climatetech company to build 25 of them in the next five years. Does that sound crazy to you? Well, it didn't to some serious backers who have helped make this Paris-based venture studio a reality. Jonny talks about his career, his thoughts on climatetech financing, how a venture studio works, and some of the most exciting areas Marble is investing in.

🧙‍♀️ Climate Tech Opportunities and Where To Find Them We're frequently asked: how do we decide “where to build” at Marble? Well, in most cases it starts with deep dive research into specific opportunity areas.

Just arrived in London for the Breakthrough Energy Summit! If you’re there, come and meet our Founding Partners Benjamin Tincq and Jonny Everett to learn more about what Marble has been building the past couple years!

🤩 Kicking off Hello Tomorrow couldn't have been better than gathering over 100 passionate folks for breakfast on a sunny Paris morning by the pier. We're talking investors, founders, experts, and researchers all in one place, sharing ideas and enjoying good vibes.

⭐️ Meet Silvia Pugliese, Co-founder and CEO+CSO of a Direct Air Capture startup (in stealth). She developed a unique hybrid electrochemical process which is 10x more energy efficient than first generation DAC and 3x better than the most ambitious second generation technologies. At megaton scale, we estimate the cost per ton to be well below $100/ton.

How to engage industrials as a key partner in scaling negative emissions tech

Innovation is still urgently needed to ensure that the best, scalable solutions are being created to solve complex decarbonisation challenges. Join Benjamin Tincq from Marble Studios to hear how they are helping founders create companies that can tackle the toughest climate problems.

⭐️ Meet Paul Mahacek, Co-founder and CEO of AtmoCooling! Together with Paul-Emmanuel Herve, they are working to transform coastal deserts into thriving hubs of agriculture, clean energy, and climate resilience. AtmoCooling’s patented technology replicates and supercharges natural atmospheric cooling to create large microclimates up to 15ºC cooler.

Jonny Everett of Marble tells us "it's really about going from an individual with potential all the way through to co-creating a company that could go on to raise capital and succeed and try to be able to surface network insights, capital allocations and unfair advantage, for the founders who come through our studio."

The startup studio model is hard to crack. While there are plenty that are always cropping up and dying off (welcome to the world of entrepreneurship), there are just as many that have managed to stick around for the long haul, and others newer ones that are looking very promising.
