You probably know about Nest, the first smart home thermostat. And you might have heard of Mill, the counter-top composter. You might even have one or both of these devices in your own home. Now meet the co-founder of both companies, Matt Rogers. On top of Nest and Mill, Matt also co-founded Incite, which invests in clean tech start-ups, climate-positive nonprofits, and advocacy.
Mill has begun expanding beyond the home with AI-enhanced, commercial scale composting bins that will turn Whole Foods waste into chicken feed—which will then get fed back to Whole Foods’ chickens.
- How can tech innovation drive meaningful change?
- Where should capital be directed?
- How does individual action scale to systemic change?
