Temperate: The startups building tech that beams heat into space and aims to disrupt the trillion-dollar cooling market
Air conditioning consumes 10% of the world's electricity, a figure set to double by 2050. Is there a better way?
I got the chance to speak with Charlie, founder of Temperate, a UK startup that has developed a revolutionary cooling technology up to 20 times more efficient than standard AC. Their system uses no refrigerants and works by converting heat into light and beaming it directly into space.
Listen to learn how this deep-tech solution, built with materials from a supermarket, is targeting the multi-trillion-dollar data centre and HVAC markets, and why it represents a massive opportunity for early-stage investors.

Temperate: The Tech Beaming Heat Into Space to Disrupt the Cooling Market

It was nearly 400 episodes ago when Catherine Bracy joined the podcast for a two part discussion to talk about Silicon Valley culture and what investors are willing to fund. Now, more than a decade later, Catherine has released a new book, World Eaters: How Venture Capital Is Cannibalizing The Economy, which takes even closer look at the basic incentives of venture capital today. So this week, Catherine is back on the podcast to talk about her book and the ways venture capital is shaping tech innovation for the worse.

Venture Capital Is Eating The World

Episode 402 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Aaron Sekhri, CEO & Co-Founder of Le Walk.

Most apps are trying to get you to stare at your phone and create a stickiness factor for doomscrolling.  Yet, Le Walk wants you to look up and take in the world.  

If you have ever experienced a group tour for a museum or some other historical location, it can be a crap shoot and for me, even with the best tour guide, I have a hard time focusing and taking it all in.

This is where Le Walk comes to the rescue.  It is your personal tour guide, right in your headphones.  The company uses AI to enhance, not replace, human creativity. Every tour still relies on real guides, editors, and storytellers — AI just helps amplify their reach.

Le Walk recently announced a $4.1M seed co-led by Adverb Ventures and Lerer Hippeau, with participation from Origins Fund and Point72 Ventures.  In beta, Le Walk has reached 110k downloads, 160k+ social followers, and 20k+ tours taken. 

In this interview, we cover:

* Aaron’s experience growing up in Hong Kong and how he landed at Stanford to study Symbolic Systems.
* Getting his career started in Product Management while at Uber.
* His experience at TikTok and what he learned there.
* All the details about Le Walk and the plans ahead.
* Their content playbook for customer acquisition and why content is king when it comes to building traction for a startup and their strategy around content.
* And so much more.
