5 Website Mistakes of Green-tech Startups

Épisode 1

mercredi 18 juin 2025 • Durée 24:53

In episode 1 of the Scaling Green-Tech podcast, Adopter co-founders Matt Jaworski and Katherine Keddie dive into why websites matter, especially for early-stage climate founders. Even if you’re still at the idea stage, having a simple, functional, and up-to-date site can make all the difference when it comes to credibility, traction, and first impressions with investors or partners.

They unpack five common mistakes they see all the time: leaving your website to gather dust, using vague or overly technical language, getting locked into expensive suppliers, choosing platforms that don’t grow with you, and skipping real-world images or examples that show your solution actually exists.

Throughout the episode, Matt and Katherine share tips on how to avoid these traps and explain why your website isn’t just a box to tick, it’s a key part of how your business shows up in the world. If you’re wondering where to start with your green-tech website, this one’s for you.

Theresa Hoffmann (Nanoplume) - Rethinking Thermal Insulation with Bio-Based Materials

Épisode 21

mardi 17 mars 2026 • Durée 01:01:33

Theresa Hoffmann, CEO and Co-founder of Nanoplume, discusses bio-based aerogel insulation, deep tech commercialisation, and the realities of early-stage founding on Episode 21 of Scaling Green Tech, a podcast by Adopter.

Hoffmann explains how 80% of the insulation market remains dependent on petrochemical materials, despite the thermal insulation industry growing toward a $100 billion market by 2030. Nanoplume's answer is a bio-based nano-porous material that is three times as insulating, 60% lighter and thinner, and 100% biocompatible - and around 75% cheaper than silica aerogels and other super-insulating materials. Rather than targeting the built environment first, Hoffmann describes a deliberate beachhead strategy in pharmaceutical cold chain logistics, chosen for clearer economics and lower mechanical requirements, with a roadmap toward truck insulation, warehousing, and eventually buildings. The episode also covers co-founder dynamics, founder identity, and how to validate market assumptions through early customer case studies.

This episode is relevant for deep tech founders at pre-seed and seed stage, materials science entrepreneurs, cold chain and pharmaceutical logistics investors, built environment innovators, and anyone navigating co-founder relationships, accelerator programmes, or early-stage commercialisation strategy.

Martin SFP Bryant (PreSeed Now) - How To Win Attention From Investors and Journalists at Pre-Seed

Épisode 20

mercredi 4 mars 2026 • Durée 55:33

Martin SFP Bryant, Founder of PreSeed Now, discusses what investors and journalists look for from early-stage startups on Episode 20 of Scaling Green Tech, a podcast by Adopter.

Bryant draws on nearly 17 years as a technology journalist - including covering ElevenLabs before the launch of ChatGPT - to explain what separates pre-seed startups that attract backing from those that stall. He argues that the strongest founders compress their value proposition into a one-to-two sentence "micro-pitch," citing Stripe's early line ("take payments on your website with a single line of code") as an example of a pitch that immediately communicates both the product and its scale potential. The conversation covers why climate tech companies lose traction when they lead with environmental impact rather than economic value, how the contraction of the tech media landscape has changed founder media strategy, and what Bryant looks for when selecting startups to profile on PreSeed Now from a pipeline of hundreds.

This episode is relevant for pre-seed and seed-stage founders preparing to raise investment. It is also useful for climate technology companies refining how they communicate value to investors, customers, and the media. Matt Jaworski hosts.

mercredi 1 octobre 2025 • Durée 01:32:23

In episode 11 of the Scaling Green-Tech podcast, Katherine Keddie sits down with Anne Snelson and Becky Lane to explore how we can accelerate decarbonisation in the domestic built environment. Anne Snelson is a carbon literacy training specialist who works with major corporates to embed climate awareness and drive organisational change. With a background spanning transport, telecoms, and construction, she now focuses on equipping leaders and teams with the knowledge and urgency needed to transition towards net zero. Becky Lane is the CEO and co-founder of Furbnow, a fast-growing startup helping homeowners navigate the complexity of energy efficiency upgrades. Furbnow leverages data, technology, and supply chain expertise to deliver tailored home energy plans, with ambitions to scale across the UK and beyond.

Together, they unpack the barriers slowing down progress in housing and construction, the consumer behaviours driving adoption, and why success depends on meeting people where they are. From policymaking gaps to “boiler funerals” and renovation trigger points, this conversation sheds light on the real-world complexities and opportunities in decarbonising our homes. If you’re interested in making retrofit mainstream, the consumer transition to net zero, or how startups can help transform one of the hardest-to-decarbonise sectors, this one’s for you.

Tim Rault-Smith - Lessons in Startup Problem-Solving and Scaling Innovation

mercredi 17 septembre 2025 • Durée 01:14:58

In this episode of Scaling Green-Tech, Katherine Keddie is joined by Tim Rault-Smith, a seasoned scale-up leader turned startup advisor, who now helps founders navigate growth in the EV technology space. Tim was one of the early employees at ForgeRock, the Identity and Access Management software company that rapidly scaled from a small European team to IPO on the New York Stock Exchange before its acquisition in 2023. Tim reflects on his journey through the birth of the Internet and a variety of roles at Sun Microsystems, to co-building ForgeRock’s support services and helping shape the technologies still underpinning today’s digital world.

Turning Insights Into Impact - Auditing Your Online Presence

mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Durée 34:40

In episode 9 of the Scaling Green-Tech podcast, Katherine Keddie and Matt Jaworski share a hands-on guide to auditing your online presence.
