Speed, Ownership & Cheap Power — 20VC with Alan Chang

Operational intensity and the pursuit of energy abundance define the transition from fintech leadership to infrastructure innovation. Alan Chang, former Revolut executive and co-founder of Fuse Energy, advocates for a high-performance culture centered on "never settling" and utilizing small, independent teams held to uncompromising accountability. This management philosophy translates into the energy sector by rejecting artificial scarcity in favor of a "no tradeoffs" mission that prioritizes cheaper, lower-carbon power through deregulation and vertical integration. By bypassing traditional subsidies and focusing on physical construction—evidenced by Fuse’s ability to launch a full-stack energy company with just one million pounds—the strategy emphasizes speed and decisive capability over theoretical purity. Ultimately, the goal is to eliminate energy constraints entirely, allowing the global economy to scale through abundant generation rather than forced conservation.
