S11: E1. Closing a $45m series A ft. Fabien Koutchekian (Genomines)
from The Climate Pioneers Show
Fabien Koutchekian is the co-founder and CEO of Genomines, a start-up pioneering the extraction of nickel from the ground. Instead of bulldozers and explosives, Genomines uses genetically enhanced plants, called hyperaccumulators, to pull nickel out of the soil. The result is a process that could deliver battery-grade metal with a fraction of the environmental footprint of traditional mining. With such transformational potential, it’s not a surprise that they successfully closed an incredible $45m Series A raise in September 2025. Hosted on Acast.
