🔋 Growth Capital Podcast — Episode 40 🔋
What happens when an oil & gas user sets out to electrify one of the most overlooked parts of aviation?
In this episode of the Growth Capital Podcast, Justin Dixon sits down with Nick Holland, Co-Founder & CEO of VIRV, to explore how an outsider’s perspective uncovered a massive opportunity: bringing swappable batteries and electrons-as-a-service to airports and other high-uptime, off-highway vehicle fleets.
They discuss:
✅ Why hardware startups require patience, grit, and a different funding strategy
✅ How an outsider mindset can expose hidden problems
✅ Why regional airports are an untapped innovation market
✅ How Verve is making clean tech adoption a cost advantage, not just a green initiative
✅ The role of AI in smarter battery swaps and fleet uptime
