What if the key to restoring nature lies in uncovering the past?

In this episode, I’m joined by Iris Kramer, founder of ArchAI and Forbes 30 Under 30 scientist-turned-startup-CEO, who’s pioneering the use of AI and LiDAR to rediscover lost landscapes, from medieval furrows to ancient orchards and turn them into assets for nature recovery.

We talk about:

  • How Iris went from archaeology to AI entrepreneurship

  • Why historic maps and burial mounds matter for modern biodiversity

  • What it's like bootstrapping a deeptech startup without VC

  • Her vision for a national (and global) “map of the past” to guide future regeneration

It’s a fascinating story of tech, nature, and startup grit — and a must-listen for anyone building at the intersection of climate, data, and land use.
