Welcome to the latest episode of the ESG in VC podcast where we are joined by Eric Rubenstein. 


Eric is Managing Partner at New Climate Ventures or NCV, a US based fund launched to tackle climate change with a holistic approach. NCV invests in innovative early-stage startups broadly across the carbon reduction and avoidance ecosystems. NCV launched in October 2021, and has invested in companies that span the areas of climate tech, recycling, alternative materials, and food tech, among other emissions avoiding technologies. Prior to founding New Climate Ventures, Eric held investment, fundamental strategy, and trading roles at Citigroup and Louis Dreyfus in their commodities and energy trading divisions respectively. A psychology major with a focus on behavioural neuroscience, Eric graduated from Yale University.

Together with Eric, we discussed what is missing in the venture ecosystem to help expedite climate change innovation and how he thinks about about the side effects when making investments and much more.
