Sustainable Views: Raising ‘quality’ green capital in Europe

In this episode of Sustainable Views, Silvia talks to Lubomila Jordanova, the founder and CEO of Plan A, a carbon reporting start-up with offices in Berlin, Paris, and London. Lubomila says that Europe, rather than the US, is the best place to raise “quality” capital for climate companies. Much of this is due to investors’ closer familiarity with the challenges at hand, she says, as well as because of the ever-growing set of European regulations that are shaping the environmental, social, and governance space. Lubomila talks about some of the industries that are more deeply affected by new rules – and gives advice to entrepreneurs looking to enter the green tech space. In addition to leading Plan A, she is also the co-founder of the Greentech Alliance, an organisation that supports and connects founders.-Silicon Valley Bank collapse and its impact on green tech financing.Find Silvia on LinkedIn here and Twitter here.
