A new study was released in @ScienceMagazine today: if we don't cut emissions and stay below 1.5°C, we'll witness 4 critical tipping points:
1) collapse of the Greenland and 2) West Antarctic ice sheets,
3) loss of coral reefs
4) thawing of permafrost Published in @ScienceMagazine, the study is a wake up call on #climate, if there ever was one. Here's the conclusion:

"Our assessment provides strong scientific evidence for urgent action to mitigate climate change..."

Now that our @TechCrunch feature is out, I thought I'd do a 🧵on our experience raising our Pre-Seed in 2021. The press just talks about the 💸but I think other early-stage founders might find value in hearing about the process. It was hard work...to say the least: For context, we launched @enduring_planet in May out of the Enduring Ventures venture studio. We had a bit of operating $, a superstar board (@SievaKozinsky and @XavierHelgesen), and a pretty solid network.

This was an incredibly privileged place to start. No doubt.

Every week, I talk to someone looking to transition into #climate from tech. It makes me so damn optimistic.

When they ask me where to look for opportunities, here's what I say: 1. Check out @Climatebase and @climatetech_vc job boards. The community is just starting to exist on these platforms and there are SO MANY AWESOME JOBS

We've now talked to over 100 #climate #startup #founders for @enduring_planet and we're seeing a pattern. A 🧵 (1) First and foremost, there is incredible innovation happening in the space. The pace at which new #climatetech is entering the market and getting validation is staggering. We are truly at the early days of a New Climate Economy. I AM SO EXCITED 🍿🚀
