EE 388 - World Exclusive - Founder Reveals Stealth Startup & Reveals Famous Investors for the First Time - Will O'Brien
Description
Today, we have a world exclusive. Will O'Brien unveils his stealth startup to the world for the first time.
Will is my pick for the rising star of season 22 and this episode will clearly show why.
Not only is he backed by some of the hottest investors in the world, he is solving a problem that could potentially save the world.
Will shares the rationale behind keeping his company under wraps for so long, focusing on engineering challenges away from the public eye.
Our conversation then turns to the ambitious quest of seagrass restoration, an innovative solution for carbon removal. We explore the immense potential of scaling restoration efforts, fueled by global climate goals, and discuss the strategic fundraising journey that brought on board top-tier investors aligned with the venture's long-term vision.
Will is a fascinating guy and we explore some of his wilder adventures including going to live with Buddhist monks and writing letters to Denis O'Brien which landed him a dream job.
