## Resource

Lucy Mortimer of Archipelago Ventures joins David Bank. Archipelago is a UK-based early-stage climate fund investing in materials innovations that enable a truly circular economy. They speak about Lucy about why materials are a sleeper cell in the climate crisis and how Archipelago is innovating in the fund raising process itself, with “collective diligence” - in which Archipelago’s prospective partners work together to ask the hard questions.
