  • Love the way you look at different aspects of angel investing

    I particularly liked the episode with Denzel Walters. It is so important to bring in underrepresented founders.

The Google Maps of Heat Loss with Lucy Lyons, Co-founder & CEO of Kestrix
Q: EPCs, fix them or scrap them?
Fix them by making them flexible and amenable to technology, allowing validated data from providers like Kestrix to augment or integrate with the standard while improving overall accuracy.
Profitability, Pivots, and Why AI Needs Trustworthy Data with Jessi Baker MBE
Q: How do you balance impact with profitability, and what guidance would you give to other impact-driven entrepreneurs?
The core guidance is to stay close to customer needs and payments realities; profitability is essential for survival, and impact should align with a real business need. The discussion also covers the importance of a Venn diagram balancing planet, people, and profit.
Profitability, Pivots, and Why AI Needs Trustworthy Data with Jessi Baker MBE
Q: What have been some key pivots and what did you learn from them?
The major pivots include moving away from blockchain-based traceability to prioritizing consumer-facing claims and partnering with internal traceability/auditing systems, plus shutting down consulting services to scale software. These shifts helped Provenance focus on data provenance and credibility while maintaining growth and profitability.
Profitability, Pivots, and Why AI Needs Trustworthy Data with Jessi Baker MBE
Q: Before we dive into what Provenance does, could you give a bit of background on your path to founding Provenance?
Jessi Baker describes a non-linear career that moved from Cambridge engineering to creative tech and marketing, then to a PhD where Provenance started as a side project, gradually evolving into a focused software company aligned with a mission to make product impact transparent and credible.
