My name is Pascal Mies and on Tech and Trees I talk to ClimateTech founders, investors and operators to learn about how we build better ClimateTech companies and how we build more of them faster. On this episode I talk to Jakob Bitner, co-founder and CEO of VoltStorage. Jakob co-founded VoltStorage straight out of university. The company started out manufacturing home energy storage systems. Since then, Jakob has led the company through a massive pivot. VoltStorage is now developing Iron-Salt batteries that will compensate the fluctuations in renewable energy supply - meaning large scale energy storage. We talk about how Jakob led the company through their pivot, the importance of energy storage in a grid that mainly relies on renewables and the company’s aim to generate €800Mn in revenue by the end of this decade. There is a lot to learn here about the world of energy storage and batteries, so listen to Jakob Bitner from VoltStorage. </p><p><br></p><p>Check out VoltStorage: https://voltstorage.com/en/?lang=en</p><p><br></p><p>Reach out to Jakob: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakob-bitner-b02a6696/</p><p><br></p><p>Reach out to me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-mies/</p>","author_name":"Pascal Mies"}
