Gesa Biermann from Pina Earth: She founded Pina Earth together with Florian Fincke in 2021. The startup has been developing certified climate protection projects since 2021 with the goal of creating sustainable forests throughout Germany. Founder Gesa Biermann has been active in the sustainability field for around ten years, holds a doctorate in environmental sciences from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and a master's degree in Sustainable Resource Management from the Technical University of Munich. What does she want from the Munich ecosystem? She shares her thoughts on this topic in the interview: "More diversity! In financing rounds, over 80 percent of funding is still raised by male teams. I am convinced that diverse teams benefit from different perspectives, whether it's their innovative ability or empathy. The same applies to the circle of investors." (Photo: Pina Earth)
