Excited to have Tom Price, CEO and Founder of EcoSafi, on the CC Pod with our host Katie Durham!  EcoSafi is transforming cooking in the developing world by providing clean, affordable biomass stoves that protect health and the environment.

EcoSafi is tackling the environmental and health issues associated with traditional cooking methods that rely on charcoal and other polluting fuels. Price explains that many families, even those living in urban settings with modern amenities, still resort to lighting charcoal fires multiple times a day for cooking. Recognizing the need for a better alternative, EcoSafi has developed a cutting-edge biomass stove equipped with a computer brain and fans to control the flame, providing a cleaner and more efficient cooking solution.

The company's business model is reminiscent of the "printers and ink" approach, where EcoSafi provides families with the advanced stove at no upfront cost and generates revenue through the sale of clean cooking fuel. This model not only makes clean cooking accessible but also creates carbon credits that help fund the business, aligning economic viability with environmental sustainability.

Price emphasizes the importance of actively listening to team members and fostering a positive workplace culture, which he believes is crucial for driving innovation and impact in the climate tech sector. With recent traction and a vertically integrated approach that has reduced costs, EcoSafi is poised to make significant strides in the clean cooking market.
