In this episode, we welcomed Sanchali Pal. Born and raised in Boston and India, Sanchali is founder and CEO of Joro – a platform for collective climate action that is backed by Sequoia and has been profiled in Fast Company, TechCrunch, and more. Joro is a mobile app that assigns a carbon score to users’ credit card purchases, and then helps them develop a climate action plan to reduce their carbon footprint that may include changing habits, buying offsets, or learning more about the climate crisis. Sanchali first became interested in sustainability in undergrad, when she was a sustainability manager for her dining hall at Princeton and saw how much energy could be saved by eating a plant-based diet. After working at Tesla and in social impact at Dalberg, Sanchali started Joro after attending Harvard Business School. Sanchali describes her first time fundraising to venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, the people-related and technical challenges of building an early-stage startup without prior software experience, and the power individual consumers have in combating the climate crisis by contributing to large-scale behavioral changes that influence governments and businesses.
