Green Banking with Ravi Mikkelsen
Ever wonder what the money in your checking / savings account does while you're not using it?
Grab your Sunday's best, a mimosa and listen as Ravi Mikkelsen tells us that it's used to finance projects and organizations that you may or may not agree with (like drilling in the Arctic) and how his team at ATMOS is solving this! ATMOS is the first digital banking startup wholly-focused on climate action! Instead of funding new extraction wells, your money could be a loan to rooftop solar - no less profitable and much more value aligned.
Our speaker Ravi has been making a difference in climate change for over 20 years, from energy management software to novel solar financing. He's the Founder & CEO of ATMOS and the organizer of ClimateLink network - a network and event series to showcase new climatetech solutions and match startups with appropriate capital sources (of which me & many others have been beneficiaries over the years!)
Following a 30 minute talk + Q&A, we’ll break out into smaller discussion groups for the awesome folks in the community to meet each other.
Friends are welcome! See y’all in glorious 2D.
About the series: This is a bi-monthly talk and discussion series put on by the WoC Community - a gathering of climate change professionals and enthusiasts learning about the various aspects of our infrastructure and systems that produce emissions and what we can do to change those. Previous talks include: industrial emissions, green roofs, community solar, utopian land use, water, fugitive methane emissions, biotech solutions, etc'
