Looking for solutions to climate change can often be in the overlooked
process we use to build our society
Ep.#46 Cody Finke, co-founder and CEO of Brimstone Energy
PART 1: Meet the founder:
During this new episode of our Founder Series, we are sitting down with
Cody Finke, Co-founder and CEO of Brimstone Energy. Brimstone Energy
creates the world's first carbon negative Portland cement without
changing the product or the price. Brimstone has developed a cement
formula that has successfully removed cement-making process emissions
and yet is scalable and cost-effective.
I was excited to speak with Cody, a lover of the outdoors, who began his
career as a chemist working developing wastewater treatment technology
at Caltech before realizing that if he wanted to make impactful change,
he needed to start a business to sell new technologies able to tackle
environmental problems. He therefore went in pursuit of finding a
solution to the lesser-known environmental pollutants and settled on
cement, currently A BIG challenge with great potential climate impacts,
since Cement production currently contributes to 5.5% of global
greenhouse gas emissions.
In this episode, we will learn more about the often-overlooked cement
industry, who the big players are, what gaps Cody discovered in the
market, and how tackling the carbon emissions from cement-production can
have a big impact on climate goals. Cody then goes into the details of
cement production and how he plans to scale his cement process and
promote his solution as the only one that tackles cement process
emissions. Cody then gives us an overview of the biggest challenges in
the market and what the main opportunities and risks of his business
model are.
PART 2: My secret sauce: (AVAILABLE TO MEMBERS ONLY -More info on our

During the second part of our discussion, Cody will give his secret
sauce for early-stage founders looking to fundraise by giving his tips

he has managed to maintain a good work-life balance as a busy CEO and
some of the books he found useful.
