In a previous episode of the EcoSend Podcast, we learned that around 250,000 new websites are built every day..!

The Sustainability credentials of such websites are rarely, if ever, taken into consideration. Many website builders focus on competitive feature 'arms-races', particularly the race to implement AI as quickly and as far-reaching as possible.

Fortunately, not all website builders have fallen into this. And that is just what our latest guest on the EcoSend Podcast is here to talk to us about.

Jesse Ramon Brown is the founder and CEO of Enverse Labs and Sprout, the no-code platform that lets anyone build sustainable, accessible, and high-performance websites in just minutes.

Sprout websites have an average weight of just 35KB, remarkably lower than the standard website averages.

So please join us for this fascinating episode as James sat down with Jesse to discuss topics including:

🇪🇸 The Renewable energy startup scene in Spain
💚 Incorporating Sustainability and Accessibility at the heart of Sprout's practises
👣 Jesse's journey to founding Sprout
🕵️‍♂️ Finding Product-Market-Fit
🌊 The power of the 'Ripple Effect' in Digital Sustainability
... and much more! ✨

We're so excited to see what the future holds for Sprout, who are pioneering a novel approach to building websites, which are better for both people and planet. We hope you enjoy the episode 💚
