February 2019 Pitch Event Review

2/8/2019

Comments

 
Picture
​Our pitch event on 5 February took place at Browns Covent Garden in London, with four companies presenting to Green Angel Syndicate’s eager audience of active angel investors.
​
This time, there was a special focus on projects in the circular economy, including the recycling of plastics. However, this was by coincidence rather than by design, as Green Angel Syndicate’s selection criteria remain unwavering: we look for companies combining the potential for significant long-term shareholder value creation with a clear positive contribution to the green economy.

Investing in new business models for a greener economy - Product-as-a-Service

1/28/2019

Comments

 
​Members of Green Angel Syndicate invest in early stage companies that benefit the green economy. We get involved because we want to see more efficient and sustainable use of global resources.
 
One of the interesting ways in which businesses are capitalising on the opportunity this represents is through Product-as-a-Service business models. Instead of basing success on selling as much product as possible, suppliers enter into a service agreement with the customer that focuses on the desired outcome or performance that the customer needs. It is an approach that has potential to offer significant improvements in both resource and performance efficiency.

What should we do about 2019?

1/1/2019

 
Picture
This is the year, we are told, when we should all be dropping everything to concentrate on the problem of climate change before it is too late. “Destroy” is a strong word.  But it is the word that is being used more and more frequently in the context of the Climate Change debate.  These last few months, leading up to COP 24 in Katowice, have seen the direst warnings yet of the consequences of Climate Change caused by man-made carbon and other emissions.

Investing in the ‘Little Vehicles’ Revolution – Starting with E-bikes

12/6/2018

Focusing on transportation, a sector whose greenhouse gas emissions have remained stubbornly high, it would be easy to focus only on the long-term prize of vehicle electrification. However, developing active mobility options such as cycling can be done now, at a very low cost, and with many positive side effects in terms of public health. In this article, we investigate the ‘little vehicles’ revolution, starting with cycling and electric bikes.

Fantastic Plastic - An Opportunity for Disruptive Innovation

10/23/2018

 
Picture
Its popularity has suffered recently, but plastic is still a highly effective and versatile material. That is why we have come to use it so widely. With only 20% of plastic currently being recycled worldwide [1] the opportunity to capture (and recapture) value through recycling and disruptive innovation is huge.

How will Demand Side Response and Flexibility Trading enable a Clean Energy future?

10/4/2018

 
Picture
The contribution from wind and solar to power generation will only accelerate as their costs continue to fall and the world needs zero-carbon electricity – but these renewables come with some specific challenges: intermittency and inflexibility.
​
Likewise, transportation needs to ‘decarbonise’, and the adoption of electric vehicles will accelerate – but how will the resulting increase in electricity demand be managed by utilities?
​
To these two challenges, there is one answer: flexibility.
