What does it take to build an electric bus company from scratch?

In Episode 3 of The Young Boardroom, Rohan sits down with Keith Bradbury, co-founder of Ember, an electric bus company that started in Scotland and has built its own technology, charging network and routes.

Keith explains why he believes buses can make an even bigger difference than electric cars, what it was like launching Ember with just two buses, why the company decided to build its own software, and what he learned from the difficult early days of building the business.

Rohan also asks Keith how big Ember could eventually become and what advice he would give to an 18-year-old who wanted to start their own company.

And, of course, they finish with The Young Boardroom Quickfire.

In Episode 2 of The Young Boardroom, we sit down with Andrew Birch, co-founder and CEO of OpenSolar.

Andrew has spent more than two decades working to make solar energy easier and more affordable to deploy around the world. He co-founded OpenSolar to give solar installers powerful design, sales and business software completely free — helping remove some of the friction that slows down the transition to clean energy.

We talk about how he got started in solar, why Australia became such an important market, what it takes to build and scale a global company, the role technology and AI can play in accelerating clean energy — and what he has learned along the way.

And, as always, we finish with The Young Boardroom quickfire.

In the first episode of The Young Boardroom, we sit down with Noamaan Siddiqi, co-founder, CEO and CTO of Superlight.

Noamaan is rethinking one of the oldest parts of the transport industry: the truck. Superlight is building a new generation of electric commercial vehicles designed from the ground up to carry more, use less energy and make logistics more efficient.

We talk about where the idea came from, what it takes to build a completely new kind of vehicle, the challenges of starting a company, what Noamaan has learned along the way — and what advice he would give to the next generation of entrepreneurs.
