Creating a startup is always challenging. Founding one during a tech downturn, cost of living crisis and recession seems near impossible. However, with risk comes reward and many of the world’s most successful companies were founded during times of economic uncertainty. As part of a series with Antler, Maddyness has interviewed founders hoping to become the entrepreneurial success stories to emerge from this time of crisis. This week, Maddyness spoke to Luis Espinosa Andrade, cofounder of Sorted.

In tech, we tend to think our activity is pretty clean. We work on shiny new computers, editing files that live in a pristine cloud… and we’ve replaced so many business trips with GMeets that we can’t impact the planet that much, can we? Think again.

The climate crisis is a tragedy for people and planet, but with it falling down the list of priorities for certain businesses and politicians, it may help to consider the revenue potential lost and the inevitable and growing bill of doing nothing, argues Christian Hernandez, cofounder and partner at 2150.

Two years after its creation, Morfo proves that it's possible to manage a deeptech startup differently; by having a very strong relationship with public research and by getting into the commercialisation phase immediately.

Despite increasingly challenging market conditions, climate tech remains one of the most popular areas of startup investment. The ongoing commitment to this vital area of innovation reflects the accelerating urgency of climate action, following a global rise in extreme weather events and fresh scrutiny on Net Zero ambitions. The complexity and diversity of the climate challenges that need to be addressed is vast, as are the range of solutions being built to help do this. But too often, the true scale and diversity of “climate tech” is overlooked and underestimated.

Across oceans, peatlands, forests and ancient woodlands, our planet quietly sequesters carbon dioxide from the air. Until the eighteenth century, the carbon cycle balanced CO₂ levels in the atmosphere and supported life for over 11,700 years: a period that researchers have named the Holocene.

In Hengill, a volcanic ridge east of Reykjavik, a white steam cloud blurs the outline of a metal power plant. Its four units each contain two metal boxes that whir with fans. These are sucking in the air to trap carbon dioxide, using a sponge-like filter called solid sorbent that binds with the carbon. Once the sponge is saturated, the interior is heated to 100 degrees Celsius, then the carbon is squeezed out and injected deep into an underground basalt rock formation. Within two years, it turns to stone.
