Cool tech hot problem
In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with Manik Suri, founder and CEO of GlacierGrid, a climate tech company tackling emissions through an unexpected source: commercial cooling. Manik takes us from the West Wing to the grid, sharing how he went from working in Obama’s White House to building tech that helps restaurants, retailers, and hospitality giants like McDonald’s and Marriott reduce energy use, cut food waste, and fight refrigerant leaks, all through smarter HVAC and refrigeration systems. We explore what it means to scale a startup that intersects AI, IoT, and climate in a world increasingly divided on sustainability, and why sometimes the boldest move is just to start, even if you don’t know how it ends.
