Town Square: What If We Flipped Our Perspective?
Website: https://townsquare19.splashthat.com/
Welcome to Town Square
You’ll hear from our latest cohort of Earthshot companies, selected from over 800 who applied from 67 countries. They are growing ground-breaking companies tackling affordability, inclusivity, self-reliance, climate resilience, and environmental intelligence. They will invite us to flip our traditional way of thinking and imagine a world where food actually goes from the farm to your table, new tech reaches ALICE communities first, and we can be hopeful about the future of our planet.
Cohort 8: Affordability & Inclusivity
Meet the companies who are democratizing access to renewable energy and clean transportation.
Cohort 8: Infrastructure

21 Questions with Olin Lagon
The idea that no one would be left behind in this transition to clean energy birthed Shifted Energy, which is just one of the companies started by Olin Lagon. In 10 minutes and 21 questions, we’ll journey through Olin’s life as an entrepreneur with a relentless pursuit for community solutions.
What if CO2 was an Asset?
What if a single technology could capture CO2 before it becomes a pollutant and use it to green the most abundant manmade material on Earth, concrete? CarbonCure is one company doing just that, starting in Hawaii working with the Department of Transportation, local concrete producers, developers, and the City & County of Honolulu.
