Always great to see when a CTO alumni startup, here Ecotone Renewables, makes the Forbes list, but even better when they’ve also received investment from a top tier VC fund and supporter of CTO, Earth Foundry - congrats! #ctoalumnisuccess (CTO Northeast 2021)
🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 We are thrilled to share that the co-founding teams of two Earth Foundry portfolio companies were just recognized on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list! At Ecotone Renewables, visionary founders Dylan Lew, EIT, Kyle Wyche and Elliott Bennett are transforming food waste into sustainable fertilizer, tackling the multi-billion-dollar food waste problem which is responsible for 8% of global GHG emissions. It’s no surprise this team was recognized for their innovative solution that helps commercial food service operators achieve their waste reduction goals, quantify impact and save money while preventing food waste from going to landfill. Meanwhile, the brilliant minds at Oxylus Energy are turning CO2 emissions into eMethanol with a game-changing technology from Yale University. The powerhouse trio of co-founders Perry Bakas, Conor Rooney, and Harrison Meyer are poised to drive deep decarbonization across high-value chemical producers, maritime fuel and aviation fuel, whose industries represent more than a $1 trillion market. This Forbes 30 under 30 recognition celebrates their remarkable innovations and dedication to building the future we need! A huge congratulations to all six trailblazers – your work inspires us all to think bigger, act bolder, and create lasting impact. #Forbes30Under30 #ClimateInnovation #Teamwork #Sustainability
