Paul Schwartz is an entrepreneur, a networker and a VC magnet.
And he’s the co-founder of a company promising to revolutionize the heating and cooling industries: Stony Brook-based ThermoLift, home of the Hofbauer Thermal Compression Climate Control device.
The “TC3,” for short, eliminates toxic refrigerants and replaces older heating, cooling and hot-water systems with one energy-efficient machine that does it all with low (or zero) carbon emissions, powered by clean biofuels (or hydrogen).
In today’s conversation, Paul joins Spark Host Gregory Zeller to discuss his partnership with legendary engineering master Peter Hofbauer, brushes with other world-class scientists and investors, collaborations with national laboratories and top universities and the steady course that has brought his 2012 startup to the edge of international commercialization.
