Climate change is one of the biggest issues of our generation.

KlimaDAO is trying to solve it by creating incentive structures that actually work. 🧵

@KlimaDAO

What is KlimaDao?

The market is not valuing our climate properly today.

@KlimaDAO is creating a truly liquid market for carbon assets and forcing the market to value them efficiently.

They are specifically focusing on carbon offsets, which are used to offset emissions.

There is no good market for these offsets anywhere.

By creating an on-chain market and buying carbon offsets, Klima is using the liquidity of Defi to create an efficient market for them.

It is poised to become the connector between crypto and the real world.

The expected impact of KlimaDao is massive:

- Carbon offsets appreciating in price, forcing companies to value emissions aka their negative externalities properly, leading to a reduction in emissions.

....

- Capital flow to carbon offset projects increasing their scope and sustainability.

- Innovation in low carbon tech leading to a reduction in emissions.

- Creation of a strong community with aligned economic incentives.

How is Klima doing this?

Klima is tokenizing carbon offsets and backing each Klima token with 1 BCT.

Anyone can participate in the carbon markets by buying Klima token.

1 BCT is at least equal to 1 verified carbon offset credit.

To get that 1 verified carbon unit.

Klima needs to buy a unit from real world.

It is selling Klima tokens via Olympus style bonds to add liquidity to its treasury.

Using this liquidity it is acquiring verified carbon units from various projects such as a commercial forest.

Investing in Klima:

Klima has aligned social & economic incentives.

Investing in the token gives you exposure to the rising demand of carbon offsets as well as demand for Klima.

Similar to OHM, Klima will also have staking.

Incentivizing people to be long-term holders via staking rewards.

By owning its liquidity via the bonding mechanism it can ensure that it does not get mercenary capital.

Why can Klima succeed?

- It is solving one of the biggest problems of our times.

- It is connecting the crypto and the real world market, which are both growing markets.

- It is actually tokenizing something that is useful. Not because it is just cool to do.

- Crypto projects can also buy Klima to reduce their emission impact.

- It is using a proven model from Olympus.

At the end of the day, it is combining environmental + social + economic incentives neatly.

If Klima succeeds the environment wins.

Reduced carbon emissions, an efficient carbon asset market, and economic incentives for all participants.

Not a bad outcome at all for everyone.

@KlimaDAO

I personally hold the token and will keep sharing more as the project launches.

Raising as a first-time founder is hard.

I have raised $15 million dollars and invested in multiple start-ups.

Here are 10 lessons to avoid costly mistakes and raise your next round:

1. Team > Idea.

Your idea matters.

Your team's ability to execute matters even more.

Investors see dozens of pitches.

What sets pitches apart is the team's ability to execute.

Showcase that by using traction & past track record.

2. Stop building investor relationships before you raise.

As a first-time founder, I was told to spend time building them.

But it is the wrong advice.

It feels fake, takes time away from building the company, and may negatively impact your valuation.

I made $0 from my first start-up.

I sold my second start-up to a $100 billion tech company.

Here are 12 things I learned through failure and success:

1. Figure out distribution early.

Building products is easy.

Finding distribution is hard.

If no one can find your product, no one will care about it.

2. Pick co-founders wisely.

Picking the right co-founder is as important as picking the right spouse.

You should know each other's fears, motivations, and goals inside out.

It is the only way to know that you both will make it to the finish line together.

At 27, I was overweight, stressed, and burnt out.

At 29, I am:

• An exited founder.
• In my best physical shape.
• More productive than ever before.

The catalyst? I transformed my health habits.

I used to think I was invincible.

Everyone in their 20's feels the same way.

Your natural instinct is to push through and ignore burnout.

Then shit hits the fan and you’re forced to change.

The same happened with me.

I had to redesign my life.

The health habits that helped me:

• Sleeping 7+ hours a day

• Working out

• Eating well

• Long walks

• Spending time in healthy relationships

Basic stuff, but most people struggle with them.

Let’s dive in.

B2B lead generation is hard.

I have generated multi-million dollars in pipeline at early stage start-ups.

Here are 7 tips on how to 2X your outbound sales efforts.

1. Target the right audience.

Most outbound prospecting fails because this does not happen.

Create ideal customer profiles before starting outreach.

You should know the challenges your customers face and how you can help.

2. Develop a framework to segment the right audience.

Different organizations may look at the same challenge differently.

You should know what makes an organization different.

Some variables to build your framework..

Working at a startup is the wrong career choice for 90% of people.

I have worked at a:

• 20 person startup
• $100 billion company

Here's a framework for deciding between startups and big companies:

1. Money

If you want a boatload of cash with high certainty..

Pick a pre-IPO or Big Tech company.

Reality is that most start-ups fail.

So your motivation for working at a start-up should go beyond $$.

2. Stability.

80% of startups fail - stability is the rare exception.

The earlier the start-up, the higher your risk of not having a job in a year's time.

If you want the stability of a guaranteed paycheck, start-ups are not the right place to be.

I attribute 90% of my luck to cold emails.

I've used cold emails to:

• Find jobs
• Raise money
• Close deals

Here's my framework 🧵

1. Make it short and easy to read.

In school, you are rewarded for using big words and sounding smart.

In the real world, people value short and simple writing.

You don't get a response if you don't respect their time.

2. The 'hook' matters.

Grab their attention with a catchy subject line.

It doesn't matter how good the content is if no one opens it.

Make the hook specific, personable, and catchy.
