Hazel Horvath is the Founder and CEO of Ecolytics, a business management tool that streamlines sustainability work for companies so that impact is easily trackable and better business decisions can be made using these metrics. Her environmental work began in high school during a formative experience where she learned about droughts, and then she went to Duke University and studied Environmental Science & Policy and Global Health. She tells us about her diverse array of experiences throughout college, from working internationally to in the nonprofit sector, and how she eventually decided to pursue entrepreneurship. Hazel explains the process of finding the gap for Ecolytics to fill, iterating the company to create the biggest value add, and the steps she took to overcome the challenges of being a young solo-founder. She ends the episode by leaving her biggest pieces of advice for students interested in energy and climate, and sharing what is next for her!
