Bryan Hassin is a serial energy entrepreneur with multiple successful exits. His latest challenge? Creating high-performance materials for a low-carbon world as the CEO of DexMat. The global energy transition is not just about deploying renewables and electrifying everything—it's also about rethinking the fundamental materials we use to build everything around us. Traditional materials like copper, steel, and aluminum come with significant carbon footprints, supply chain vulnerabilities, and physical limitations that impact scalability. Innovations in advanced materials can unlock higher efficiencies, lower costs, and more sustainable pathways for clean energy technologies. DexMat is at the forefront of this revolution, pioneering Galvorn, a carbon-based material that can replace metals while offering superior conductivity, strength, and flexibility—all with a negative carbon footprint. In a world racing to decarbonize and electrify, materials like these could be game-changers for industries ranging from EVs to grid infrastructure. Bryan brings decades of experience leading and scaling energy technology startups. Prior to DexMat, he co-founded Third Derivative, one of the largest climate-tech accelerators, where he assembled an ecosystem of corporate partners and investors, facilitating $2.5B+ in funding for 200+ climatetech startups.  Tune in to learn more about the most fundamental challenges facing the energy industry, where we need the greatest innovations in materials, and insights on company building from a successful serial entrepreneur.   Keynotes: Why an energy transition can't happen without a materials transition How we bring scientific innovations from the lab to the market How DexMat's carbon-negative Galvorn is poised to disrupt copper, steel, aluminum, and more What lessons from the computing revolution we can apply to materials innovation And much more   Book Recommendations from the Show: The Exponential Age Material World   And follow us on: Newsletter: https://www.energy-terminal.com/newsletter-signup LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/energy-terminal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/energyterminal/

A report out this week warns extreme heat waves, like the ones many parts of the world have experienced this summer, are likely to worsen over the next three decades. Climate research nonprofit First Street Foundation says by 2023, more than 8 million Americans could experience heat above 125 degrees Fahrenheit. In 30 years, more than 107 million people across the country will deal with those sweltering temperatures. And most of them will probably want air conditioning. But traditional AC units create more carbon emissions, which create more global warming. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams speaks with Ankit Kalanki, a manager at Third Derivative, a climate tech accelerator. He says there are companies working on updating the technology that keeps us cool.

From Burningman to writing a book, and dedicating his whole career to supporting ClimateTech founders, discover the unique story and insights from Ryan Kushner.  Ep.#17  Ryan Kushner Co-founder and Director of Startups @ Third Derivative   - Tech4Climate Podcast by Startup basecamp PART 1: Meet the investor: In today's episode, we are speaking with Ryan Kushner, Co-founder, and Director of Startups @ Third Derivative, a joint venture of RMI and New Energy Nexus. Third Derivative (D3) is a vertically integrated engine built to accelerate the rate of climate innovation. They uniquely combine a next-generation accelerator, committed venture capital network, a curated ecosystem of global corporations, and unparalleled market, regulatory, and policy insights. I was excited to have Ryan on the show and learn more about his unique story that began with working in the weed industry and being a long time “burner”, to how he jumped into Climate Tech, wrote a book, and launched 3 Derivative, which regularly gives away their curriculum and investors list to help others create a structure to support founders fighting Climate Change. Ryan will share his overview of the ClimateTech ecosystem today, where we are at, and what needs to happen to ensure the ClimateTech ecosystem can fully support the 2050 Net-Zero Goal. He will cover in detail how they select and support founders by finding, funding, and helping scale the most promising technologies to achieve larger, faster reductions in global carbon emissions. Finally, Ryan will share how they evaluate impact in companies they support with their programs and how you can be involved in their initiatives today.   Part 2:My secret sauce: In the second part of the show, Ryan will give his secret sauce for founders seeking to fundraise. Then, Ryan will cover the challenges that he sees for ClimateTech teams seeking to scale and go global. Finally, he will give his insights on how he maintains a healthy work-life balance as a father and an investor.
