When serial founder turned venture capitalist Sunil Paul decided to step back into startups, it was only after trying to give away the idea behind his fintech company Spring Free EV for over a decade. The idea is simple; bring down the initial cost of electric vehicles by charging owners a fee per mile. And after the wildfires in California lead to what he called the “orange sky day” he knew he had to figure out a way to do more to address the climate crisis by making EVs more accessible to the people who drive the most in the U.S. He joins Darrell and Jordan to talk about the end of the world, recruiting as a climate-focused fintech, fundraising and, of course, Canada came up a few times too.
