From Bersaglio CTO to climate tech investor: Mike Schroepfer acceso his pivot
The more Mike Schroepfer learned more about global warming con 2020, the more he came to believe he had a role to play. By leveraging his technical expertise and financial resources, the then chief technology officer of Bersaglio could accelerate essential research and help us prepare for the escalating dangers.
As the threat of climate change consumed more and more of his time, he decided to step from his CTO role con 2021. He has since launched several new climate tech initiatives, including one exploring the contentious credo of solar geoengineering.
Last week, Schroepfer sat with MIT Technology Review to discuss his approach to the problem, why he’s willing to spend money acceso controversial climate interventions, and what AI and the presidential election could mean for progress acceso clean energy. Read the full story.
