    Length: 54 minutes | Released: October 13, 2026Florina Minzat, competitive athlete turned deep tech founder, on learning to press pause, ask for help, and build sustainably.Florina Mînzat is the founder and CEO of climate tech startup EcothermiQ.From growing up in energy poverty in Romania, to becoming a competitive fencer, to building technology designed to completely change how we heat and cool buildings worldwide, Flo knows how to fight her way to success.For around 30 years, pushing through, working harder and refusing to give up had served her pretty well.And then she became a solo founder, and reached a point where hustling harder started working against her.In this conversation, we talk about what happens when one of your greatest strengths becomes your answer to everything, the obsession with productivity, and how Flo learned to recognise when to fight, when to stop, and when to accept help.Guest bioFlorina Mînzat, Founder & CEO, EcothermiQFlorina Mînzat is the founder and CEO of EcothermiQ, a climate tech startup reimagining how buildings heat, cool and breathe, without fossil fuels or grid dependency.Raised in energy poverty in Romania, she grew up sleeping beside a gas stove to stay warm and training in overheated sports halls that made performance almost impossible. Those experiences became the foundation of her life's work: making thermal comfort accessible, sustainable and human centered.A former competitive fencing athlete, neurodivergent entrepreneur and unconventional engineer, Florina has spent the last two years building EcothermiQ as a solo founder with no salary, no safety net, and more determination than most investors know what to do with.Despite investor pullouts, a co-founder departure and periods of zero runway, she kept building. Today, EcothermiQ's technology has been lab validated by EURAC Research Institute and is supported through collaborations with UCL researchers and industry partners.Flo believes leadership starts where performative confidence ends, that authenticity is a founder's greatest competitive advantage, and that some of the most powerful businesses are built by people brave enough to trust themselves before the world does.In this episodeTimestamps approximate, from the transcript, confirm against the final edit.01:21: Who Flo is, and the hardware climate solution she's building at EcothermiQ09:19: Why heating and cooling, growing up in energy poverty, and what comfort means to a neurodivergent founder14:26: What's been proven and validated so far23:44: Losing her Co-Founder, becoming a solo founder, and how scared she was33:46: Thirty years of fighting to win, and learning when to press pause instead49:41: Dropping the to-do list, and what changed when she stopped being in constant doing mode58:03: Building sustainably instead of chasing from a place of desperationMentioned in this episodeEcothermiQ (ecothermiq.com): Flo's hardware climate solution, heating, cooling and ventilating buildings without fossil fuelsEURAC Research Institute, who lab validated the core principles of the systemConnect with FloWebsite: ecothermiq.comLinkedIn: Florina MînzatInstagram: @ecothermiqInstagram (personal): @peace.ofhe.artFlo is currently raising a £400k pre-seed angel round for EcothermiQ.
