Stories like Orsted also prove that renewable energy can be profitable. Orsted went public in 2016 at a market value of $15 billion. It’s worth $50 billion today. “For any fossil fuel company looking to escape its past, Orsted is a role model par excellence,” says Doerr. Ethan Brown provides yet another story. Doerr says Brown made a powerful impression when he walked into Kleiner Perkins to pitch his idea for a meatless burger.
Brown narrowed his focus to clean energy. His interest in animals , agriculture, and climate merged into what would become his company, Beyond Meat. Citing Beyond Meat and other companies, Doerr wants to prove that cleantech is a good investment. Since 2006, Kleiner Perkins has invested a total of $1 billion in sixty-six cleantech ventures. The value of its investments has tripled to $3.2 billion.
