Description

With 93 Fortune 500 companies committing to net-zero targets, and with the SEC preparing to require public companies to disclose climate risks, corporations are beginning to think deeply about how to track and manage their emissions. That’s why Watershed Co-Founder and CEO Taylor Francis and his team built a platform to simplify the process — and help companies to decarbonize faster.From his co-founder’s guest bedroom, Taylor and his friends used their tech experience and climate passion to create Watershed, a carbon accounting company that helps corporations measure, reduce, and report their emissions. It gives companies the capability to monitor emissions -- and the tools to actually cut them.Emily sat down with Taylor to learn how Watershed got started, how they got their first customers, and to dig into the nuances of the carbon management space. Powerhouse is an innovation firm that works with leading global corporations to help them find, partner with, invest in, and acquire the most innovative startups in clean energy, mobility, and climate.
