Meet the Earthbound Community 💚 We want to share our community with you – Because we believe that embracing our differences is a strength, and because it helps foster a deeper understanding and connection around what each of us is working on. By sharing our experiences, we can learn and grow together. To strengthen this sense of community, we asked some of our participants at What on Earth to share a brief thought or their immediate impression from the event. Hopefully these insights help to lay the groundwork for inspiration and collaboration, offering perspectives from investors, lessons from entrepreneurial journeys, and the collective energy and enthusiasm that drive us forward. In the first video, we’ll meet: 🌟 Ryan Grant Little – founder and host of the podcast called ‘Another Climate Tech Podcast’. He is also an impact investor, and a close friend and advisor to Earthbound. 🌟 Sofia Ferrabue – Co-founder and CEO of DTU climate startup OffGrid Photovoltaics. Sofia is also an MSc student at Technology Entrepreneurship at DTU. 🌟 Mikkel Kock Larsen – Co-founder of DTU climate startup Reformable - Biogas to Syngas, and a post doc. at DTU Chemistry.
