About this Event

You probably know about Nest, the first smart home thermostat. And you may have heard of Mill, the countertop food recycler. 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 non-profits, and advocacy.

Mill has begun expanding beyond the home with AI-enhanced, commercial scale food recyclers 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?

Join Climate One Founder Greg Dalton in conversation with Mill and Nest Co-founder Matt Rogers.
