For millions of people living in flats, rooftop solar has remained out of reach, not because the technology does not work, but because the energy system was never designed for them.

In this episode, Reg Platt, Founder of Emergent Energy and a member of Blue Earth Ventures, shares how more than two decades working across climate campaigning, energy policy and regulation led him to one of the biggest barriers holding back the clean energy transition: outdated market structures. Reg explains how Emergent Energy is enabling residents in multi-occupancy buildings to buy locally generated solar power directly, reducing household bills while creating a stronger commercial case for building owners to invest in decarbonisation.

We explore the company’s five-year journey working with Ofgem to help unlock regulatory change, the challenges of funding a business dependent on rewriting the rules, and its landmark project with Hackney Council, which is now delivering locally generated electricity to around 750 residents across 28 buildings.

The conversation also looks beyond rooftop solar to the future of local energy, where buildings can generate, store, trade and intelligently manage electricity, helping to create a cleaner, cheaper and fairer energy system.

This is a story about persistence, policy change and building an energy transition that works for everyone.

The ocean is one of the world's most valuable natural assets, yet it remains one of the least funded.

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, Guy Hayler sits down with Kirsty Schneeberger MBE, Founder and CEO of Athena Blue, to explore how she's building the financial infrastructure needed to unlock investment into ocean restoration and regeneration.

Drawing on experience spanning the Paris Climate Agreement, biodiversity conservation, philanthropy and climate finance, Kirsty shares why she left a successful career to launch Athena Blue, the challenges of fundraising while building a startup, and how better capital allocation could transform the future of the blue economy.

Together, they discuss blue carbon, nature finance, seagrass restoration, investor readiness, and why businesses are increasingly viewing ocean health as a critical risk and opportunity.

If you're interested in climate innovation, ocean investment, entrepreneurship, or the future of nature finance, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, Guy Hayler sits down with Neal Mann, founder of NOAN, to explore the future of AI-native business.

After working across global transformation projects with companies including Google, Microsoft, Expedia and News Corp, Neal saw the same problem everywhere: businesses are built on fragmented systems, disconnected knowledge and outdated processes that AI simply cannot operate effectively on.

NOAN is changing that.

The conversation dives into why “context” is becoming one of the most important layers in modern business, how NOAN is helping companies become AI-native from the ground up, and why Neal believes every company will eventually operate as an API.

They also discuss the future of due diligence, AI-driven operations, founder productivity, scaling globally from Europe into the US, and what the next generation of companies could look like.

A fascinating conversation on the infrastructure powering the future of work.

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, Charney and Ramzi, co-founders of Do Epic Good, share the story behind their mission to transform how we learn.

After decades in the creative industries, both reached a turning point. They saw first-hand the growing pressure on businesses to lead on sustainability and purpose, but also a clear gap: the people inside those organisations didn’t have the tools, time or engaging education needed to drive real change.

Do Epic Good was built to solve that.

Now part of Blue Earth Ventures, the platform delivers CPD-certified, podcast-style courses designed to help individuals and businesses drive profit with purpose. Think expert-led storytelling, practical frameworks and learning that actually fits into real life.

Paint hasn't changed in 60 years. John Stubbs and Emma Bestley think that's a problem, and an opportunity. In this episode, Guy sits down with the founders of Yes Colours, a design-led venture tackling waste, wellbeing and the science of colour from first principles. John shares how discovering that 98% of paint waste ends up in landfill set him on a path to reinvent the product entirely. Emma, who has grapheme-colour synesthesia, a condition where words and emotions appear as colour, explains how lived experience shaped a company philosophy built around human feeling rather than design theory.

They discuss the world's first recyclable paint pouch, the AI tinting platform they're building, and their long-term ambition: to become the global authority on what colour actually does to us. It's a founder story about turning a deeply personal perspective into a genuinely disruptive business, and why the most traditional industries are often hiding the biggest opportunities.

In this episode of the Blue Earth Podcast, Guy Hayler sits down with James Hole (CEO) and Matthew Ridd (COO), co-founders of Wuva and new Blue Earth Ventures members. Starting with Christmas trees and a mountain of post-holiday waste, James and Matt share how they arrived at a simple but powerful insight: most products are used for a fraction of their lifespan, and ownership hasn’t kept up with how we really live.

They explain how Wuva is becoming the “Klarna for renting”, helping brands offer rentals and subscriptions directly from their own sites while Wuva handles the complexity behind the scenes, from risk and regulation to payments and returns. We explore the shift from linear to circular, why economics have to work before sustainability can scale, and Wuva’s ambition to run over £1bn of circular transactions in the UK within five years.

In this episode, Guy Hayler sits down with Tim Highfield, co-founder and CEO of Kondor, to explore how one of the most compelling new climate-tech ventures emerged from decades spent inside the energy industry.

Tim reflects on his 25-year career designing and optimising major oil and gas facilities around the world, and how witnessing repeated, avoidable inefficiencies led him to a simple realisation: industry is leaving millions on the table and emitting unnecessary carbon simply because the right tools don’t exist. That insight became the foundation of Kondor, an AI-native co-pilot built to continuously analyse industrial equipment, identify optimisation opportunities in real time, and remove the reliance on slow, manual consultancy work.

Tim shares how he teamed up with his co-founder Peter, whose background spans theoretical physics, fintech and solar innovation, and how their complementary skill sets allowed them to build a platform capable of serving some of the world’s most energy-intensive sectors. He discusses the early pilot results already delivering millions in cost savings and significant emissions reductions, the scale of the global market awaiting better optimisation tools, and why Kondor now finds itself at a pivotal moment of growth.

As a BE100 Grow Category semi-finalist, Kondor is raising £1m through Blue Earth Ventures to scale its technology, convert pilots into commercial contracts and meet a rapidly growing pipeline of industrial customers.
