Some startup founders never intend to start their own ventures. But sometimes a technology comes along that is too good to ignore. This was the case for Margaux Peltier, founder and CEO of Enerdrape, which has developed geothermal panels which can turn underground spaces, such as parking lots and tunnels, into renewable energy sources to heat or cool buildings.
In this second episode, Peltier discusses the challenge of winning over the first customer that is willing to pioneer your technology, and the next steps to scale Enerdrape into a global leader in cleantech solutions to decarbonize cities.
