Ben Hemani isn't interested in "nice-to-have" climate solutions.
Why he matters: The founding partner at early-stage climate firm Bison Ventures is setting his sights on big technical swings that will make more of a difference in the fight against climate change than software alone ever could, he tells Axios.
Of note: He was on a team at Cascade Asset Management Company that assisted Bill Gates' personal portfolio before starting out on his own, and if there's one climate investor to model yourself after, it's Gates.
Bison Ventures backs Series A-ish companies that are working on what Hemani calls frontier technology. Right now, he's interested in companies that are working on making data centers and computing more efficient, in addition to ag-tech companies.
