Danijel Višević: How to use Venture Capital to save Humankind?

"The next 1,000 unicorns — companies that have a market valuation
over a billion dollars — won’t be a search engine, won’t be a media
company, they’ll be businesses developing green hydrogen, green
agriculture, green steel and green cement" according to Blackrock
CEO Larry Flink.That was before the war in the Ukraine. With the
new reality that we failed to transition our system in time to cut
off fossil energies, the race is on. We see record-high investments
in green hydrogen, in EV mobility and much more. As a matter of
fact, Europe alone plans to invest more than 33 Billion Euros into
ClimateTech R&D until 2027. And while the continent is the
worlds largest hub for climate-tech and seed financing, later
financing rounds (C,D) are more difficult, especially for hardware
start ups. But these are essential to transition to a sustainable
energy system. This is why Danijel started the World Fund, which is
one of Europe's largest ClimateTech Venture Funds. Danijel talks
about their current and future investments, about the need to act
as a venture capitalist and still save humankind. Takeaways: 1. The
