ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode of Fault Lines, Augustin Sayer sits down with Matt Logan, co-founder and General Partner at Earthshot Ventures, to trace his journey from climate policy and early cleantech startups to venture capital. Matt shares how years spent across operating roles, corporate venture and Elemental Impact ultimately led to the creation of Earthshot Ventures, a fund built around the conviction that climate solutions need to be not only impactful, but economically compelling and capable of scaling.
The conversation dives into Earthshot’s evolving investment thesis and its “clean intelligence stack”: from critical minerals and clean energy to efficient computing, AI infrastructure and climate-positive applications. Augustin and Matt explore what the AI boom means for energy and resources, why critical minerals are becoming increasingly strategic, and how startups can build the infrastructure needed to power a cleaner, more intelligent economy.
