Tune in April 9th for a fascinating live conversation between Quaise Energy's CEO Carlos Araque and SOSV GP Duncan Turner - livestreaming on YouTube and LinkedIn (details below)Geothermal energy is one of the most promising solutions to the surging energy. ☄️ But drilling to the super hot rock many miles down is a vexing technical challenge and is one reason why geothermal provides less than 1% of global electricity.📽️ Our next 𝐒𝐎𝐒𝐕 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 will feature Carlos Araque (CEO, Quaise Energy) and Duncan Turner (General Partner, SOSV & Managing Director, SOSV HAX), exploring:➡️ Why conventional geothermal stalled➡️ The cost & resource realities of drilling into superhot rock➡️ Lessons learned partnering with oil & gas incumbents ➡️ An inside look at the 1st superhot geothermal power plant in the U.S.Quaise Energy is spinout from the Plasma Science and Fusion Center at MIT, that is pioneering a radically new drilling technology. An MIT-trained engineer, Carlos spent 15 years on complex energy systems at SLB (Schlumberger), before joining MIT’s The Engine to commercialize tech.The livestream starts at 6 PM, conversation starts at 6:15 PM on SOSV's LinkedIn and Youtube channels.

Post-produced video and audio podcast will be released on all the services soon thereafter.

If your only customer is "humanity," you don't have a business. And if you’re working with a global energy incumbent, you need more than great tech. On this episode of SOSV Deep Tech LIVE, we’re talking about how industrial systems actually work. This is the practical, behind-the-scenes path from promising science to full-scale deployment.

Tune in for this fireside chat with Dr. Susan Schofer (SOSV / HAX Partner) and Dr. Barbara Burger (the “Godmother of Energy Investing,” Caltech PhD, Berkeley MBA, and former Chevron executive).

Dr. Burger has spent decades serving as an “industrial sherpa” - guiding breakthrough tech through the messy realities of industrial scale, now advising companies like Bloom Energy, Energy Impact Partners, and Syzygy Plasmonics.

Together, she and Susan will dig into what it takes to go from lab bench to commercial deployment:

• How to test tech and prove reliability inside complex, global systems

• What real industrial operational constraints look like

• How to navigate regulatory nuance and the true costs of renewables

• What to do when valuations race ahead of deployment

• The common pitfalls that quietly kill scale-up attempts

If you're building for the energy sector or trying to sell into it, this conversation will save you years of guesswork. Don’t miss it!

As part of New York Climate Week, this SOSV Deep Tech Live features Fervo Energy founder Tim Latimer in conversation with Duncan Turner, General Partner at SOSV and Managing Director of HAX.

Join us for an in-depth discussion about Latimer’s Fervo and the remarkable advances in geothermal energy that promise to enhance much-needed, carbon-free baseload power on the grid.

📍🏙️ Broadcast live from our IndieBio NY event space in Manhattan, this is next installment of 𝑺𝑶𝑺𝑽 𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝑻𝒆𝒄𝒉 𝑳𝑰𝑽𝑬, our video podcast series, where we explore the frontiers of Deep Tech with the world’s leading technologists, founders, and researchers.
