The Zenergy Podcast interviews global climate leaders with prior guests including the founders of some of the world’s largest renewable energy and electric vehicle companies including founders of SoftBank Energy, Azure Power, Ola Electric, and SunEdison.
Azolla Ventures invests in breakthroughs that could avert catastrophic climate change. They focus on ventures at the earliest stages, where risk and reward are highest. Their priority is impact first: every investment holds the potential for large-scale greenhouse gas reductions and a more just climate for all. Founded by Prime Coalition and enabled by catalytic capital, they seek out bold entrepreneurs from all corners and embrace opportunities outside of venture norms.
Amy Duffuor is the co-founder and General Partner of Azolla Ventures. She is also a Managing Director at Prime Impact Fund, Azolla Ventures’ predecessor vehicle. Her professional background spans business, finance, and impact across three continents. Amy has served as a board member for Azolla Ventures portfolio companies Heaten and Carbon Reform, as well as Prime Impact Fund portfolio companies Clean Crop Technologies, Noon Energy, and Ovipost.
In addition, Amy serves on the board of the Northeast Clean Energy Council (NECEC); the Leadership Council of Activate, a nonprofit that empowers scientists to bring their research to market to address climate change; the Advisory Council of ReFED, a national nonprofit focused on food waste; and the Advisory Board of GreenTech Noir, a global community for Black people working in sustainability and climate tech.
