Most conversations about sustainability focus on corporations. But Emma and I agree: the real energy is with founders and investors who act now.
Emma Mee has spent 20 years driving impact, from University of Cambridge to Unilever, and Carbon13.
Now, she’s the Head of Membership at Green Angel Ventures, the UK’s largest angel syndicate investing in green technologies.
Emma has helped channel over £52M into solutions that cut emissions, save resources, and create resilience.
And, she knows where the next wave of innovation will come from.
In our Planet Positive Podcast, Emma shared why angel investors and early-stage startups are critical to accelerating this transition.
Here are 3 takeaways from our conversation:
✅ Sustainability is no longer optional. Innovation now saves costs, energy, and resources. Not just emissions.
✅ Angels fill the funding gap. Green Angel Ventures’ 350+ member community proves early-stage investors can bridge where larger VCs hesitate.
✅ Diversity drives durability. Women-led and diverse teams aren’t just equitable. They consistently build more resilient, higher-return businesses.

Because conversations like these must turn into action.
By connecting founders. Funders. Allies.
To spotlight leaders proving that profit and purpose can thrive together.
