Capturing Cow Burps: Unconventional Climate Tech with Griffin Cherry

Austin Tech Connect: The Podcast For The Austin Technology Ecosystem, Business Leaders, and Tech Entrepreneurs!

In this episode of Austin Tech Connect, Thom Singer sits down with Griffin Cherry, the founder of EcoVanguard... a startup tackling climate change from a surprising angle. Griffin is not your typical tech entrepreneur. With a background that includes building airplanes, working in restaurants, and becoming a top roofing salesperson, he's now leading a team aiming to capture methane from cow burps and convert it into renewable fuel.

Griffin shares the origin of his idea, how he used AI tools and community connections to assemble a team, and the early-stage progress of his venture. While it's too early to know the much about the technology, the conversation highlights the spirit of innovation and support that defines Austin’s tech community. This episode is a great listen for anyone curious about climate tech, early-stage entrepreneurship, or just how unconventional ideas can take shape in a place like Austin.

Tune in to hear how a non-traditional founder is trying to solve a very real problem... one cow at a time.
