Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green
Q: What advice would you give engineers looking to leap into entrepreneurship?
Assume you will fail, test your assumptions with inexpensive experiments, seek mentors, and focus on building tests before products to preserve time, money, and mental wellbeing.
Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green
Q: What is the core mission of Deep Green and its near-term goals?
The mission is to deploy significant data-center capacity and demonstrate an exemplar model for industry change, with a five-year target to deploy 12.5 billion pounds and 300 megawatts of data-center capacity.
Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green
Q: How did you transition from Artists First to founding Deep Green?
I moved from being the tech-minded leader at Artists First to developing a process for entrepreneurship that leverages corporate money and branding to test and pilot startups, which eventually led to the Deep Green approach of data-center heat reuse.
Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green
Q: What advice would you give engineers considering entrepreneurship?
Be prepared to fail, test assumptions quickly with lightweight experiments, seek mentors, and build teams with the right people while maintaining a scientific, data-driven discipline.
Mark Bjornsgaard, Founder & Chief Innovation Officer of Deep Green
Q: Why did you start Deep Green, and why at this time?
The idea emerged from prior ventures and a shift toward working with corporates to test and scale, plus a belief that data-center heat reuse could create real value. The concept matured as industry principles and regulatory environments evolved, making it a practical opportunity.
