#50 Josh Romisher - CEO & Co-Founder of Holocene - The Risks and Opportunities in African ClimateTech

Tech and Trees

Hello and welcome to the Tech and Trees podcast. My name is Pascal Mies and on Tech and Trees I talk to ClimateTech founders, investors and operators to learn about how we build better ClimateTech companies and how we build more of them faster. In this episode I talk to Josh Romisher, co-founder and CEO of Holocene. Holocene invests in African pre-seed climate-tech start-ups and aims to accelerate the development of the African ClimateTech-Scene and community. Josh has all the credentials to be the right person for this job. After having had success on Wall Street, he moved on to be an operator at two African solar start-ups for whom he raised $250Mn collectively. So Josh knows a thing or two about building start-ups. In this episode he shares what made him move to Africa, how he assesses opportunities and risk, what opportunity he is chasing with Holocene and where he wants to move the ecosystem over the next years. Before you start listening just a short heads up, we did have to change locations after some issues with the internet connection, midway through there will be a bit more of an echo, so apologies for that, but the content should make up for it. Plenty of fresh perspectives and frameworks here, so listen to Josh Romisher, co-founder and CEO of Holocene.
