Turnover Labs ♻️ is having a well-deserved moment! I'm here for it. The company just launched a redesigned website that I had the privilege of being trusted to turn around in ⚡️ time. I had a great time working with Marissa Beatty on the website redesign and I loved the energy she brought to every chat we had! 🧑🏫 Learning about the chemical production industry and how Turnover Labs has created a win-win scenario for both the industry and the environment was captivating. 👍 Marissa made things smooth by coming in with some clear ideas of what she envisioned (bold colors, oversized text, and she even included a very specific shout-out to the font Garamond). 🧑🔬 The more difficult part came to trying to translate some of the complex, technical copy into easy-to-understand takeaways for folks in the industry. 🙏 Special shout-out to Gina Vicedomini for your behind-the-scenes work on the website URL and host . 👇 If you're interested in learning more about Turnover Labs, decarbonization, or green chem, check out this short read below! A Q&A with two truly inspiring women: Marissa and my partner Keely Anson 🙌

It was amazing to see delegates from many nations arrive at #cop28 to work together to mitigate the climate crisis. While those commitments are necessary, they are not sufficient. We need new innovations to really change how we source energy, how we use energy efficiently, how we store that energy, as well as the material infrastructure we are going to need to get to Net Zero by 2050. Nicolas and I shared our work at TDK Ventures to support entrepreneurs who are innovating new technologies to solve this climate challenge, which imho is the biggest challenge of our lifetime. We are fortunate to be a part of this powerful #cvc ecosystem that can leverage the superpower of the corporate mothership to help startups scale. I hope this ecosystem is getting much bigger as we are going to need a lot more capital and manpower (+womanpower) to really take these technologies to commercialization.
