Raj Kapoor: Leading Sustainable and Social Impact Blockchain Projects
Raj: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. We operate closely in urban environments and sectors, that, face challenges. We leverage technologies like blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) to find solutions addressing urbanization and infrastructure, mitigate or predict natural disasters, and address resilient digital infrastructure to protect communities and minimize the impact of disasters. We ideate solutions and encourage environmentally friendly practices and technologies to mitigate their environmental impact around environmental degradation and pollution and promote sustainable consumption and production. By engaging communities in decision-making processes and involving them in the planning and implementation of urban development, we work on real-world problems and not rhetoric.

Will Wiseman: Helping Fund Community-Based Solar Projects
Will: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Many people feel like climate change is an urgent problem but they feel powerless to make a difference. There's a huge problem where people want to use their money to make a difference but don't know how because of greenwashing. At the same time, there's a shortage of funding for solar projects below USD 5 million, since banks focus on utility-scale projects (over USD 100 million) and solar power for our homes (below USD 50,000). Now with Climatize, anyone can invest in fighting climate change by funding solar projects in their community with as little as USD 10!
