This week we're talking with Raj Atluru, managing partner of Activate Capital, a Bay Area VC that focuses on startups reshaping industrial and infrastructure sectors. He's also on the board of O.G. Generate Capital.
Why he matters: Activate under Atluru's leadership has invested early in a number of climate-tech startups: Voltus, PosiGen and Sympower, to name a few.
It's also backed Flexe, a Seattle-based marketplace for on-demand warehouse space that hit unicorn status in July.
Atluru's responses were lightly edited for clarity and length.
