France's strides in green innovation are undeniable. Approximately 40% of last year's investments (€2.7B across 105 greentech operations) were directed towards climate tech. For perspective, that's €300M more than Germany’s investment in impact startups last year.

Founders are typically driven by a deep passion to solve a big, meaningful problem. From the moment the entrepreneurial journey begins, everything is about that mission, and any time not spent on it feels like time wasted. There’s a constant sense of urgency, a prevailing undercurrent of uncertainty, and we carry a heavy weight of self-expectation. This creates a hotbed for mental health challenges.

"Wow! That must be so purposeful!" This is a common reaction when I reluctantly tell people what it is my business does. We are a developer of carbon abatement and carbon removal projects at large scale to create a healthier earth (also our company name). In a world that is obsessed with purpose, this appears to be a holy grail of work. However, for me personally, it has been highly anxiety inducing. On top of building a business, I am also reminded daily about the reality of the challenges ahead of us.

Who can resist it? The temptation to drop everything you’re working on in order to fulfil another task you’ve literally just remembered. Sure, you’re in the middle of doing something else – but what about that email you totally forgot to reply to? In the moment, this new task takes priority, especially when you’re worried you’ll only forget again otherwise.

It’s time to stop focusing on the AI takeover of human expertise in business development and distribution. There is a thesis du jour that from the rise of AI and automation will soon emerge relatively autonomous, billion dollar companies operated by a single individual. While this thought is captivating, we believe this is fundamentally unrealistic as it underestimates the complexity of business operations - such as business development and distribution - that extend beyond the capabilities of AI, and still requires human nuance and expertise.
