"there's 2 reasons why people go into science:
1. love uncovering new knowledge
2. want to impact the future state of the world
the first group just shouldn't start startups (truthnuke), because startups are not a great place to uncover new knowledge, science is actually better for that.
the latter group, the ones that want to change the future state of the world, a lot of them should become founders because someone's got to scale the science done in academia"
couldn't have said it better
building companies led by scientist-founders is @sethbannon's bread & butter. at @fiftyyears, he has backed 130+ companies, including 8 unicorns and 3 IPOs to date.
so what mistakes DO scientists-turned-founders repeat consistently? this, and many other questions, are answered in our latest episode of Under Pressure.

To achieve a clean energy future, we need bold ideas — and we need them now.
At Breakthrough Energy, we’re proud to support the @inflectionaward, an initiative by @MarbleClimate that invests in the next generation of climate innovators.

If you know bright PhD students working on climate and think their work needs to be recognised more widely- point them towards this new award launched with @MarbleClimate and that I am proud to support with QCF
We need a lot of brain power to solve climate

Could not be more thrilled to welcome the incredible climate studio @MarbleClimate to @joinstationf 🌱
Welcome, @MarbleClimate!!!
We couldn't have kicked off September any better than by announcing a new climate tech program. Together with Marble, we're joining forces to build companies that slash emissions, remove carbon, and cool the planet!!

My startup idea is an AI platform to help you identify the most bankable CDR protocol for your startup

Geothermal rocks ♨️
The world will need 3x more power by 2050 as electrification expands to meet net zero goals (and as living standards grow)

The French Carbon Removal Association is born!
It was incredible to see the room packed with 100+ founders, investors, buyers, policymakers, and enthusiasts for the AFEN launch!

We are hiring a Principal @MarbleClimate 👀
But what does this mean for a climate tech venture studio? Different firms can have different scopes for similar titles.
Good question:

🐮Moo-ving towards cows without methane
From incorporating compounds such as 3-NOP and bromoform 🧪 into feed, to creating wearable devices reducing the intensity of burps 🐮💨 the issue of enteric methane emissions seems to have been examined from every conceivable angle… 1/6

Plot twist: and in the end, the UAE COP delivered 🌍
Sure, there is watered down langue ("quickly shift energy systems away from fossil fuels in a just and orderly fashion")
But still.

Another exciting milestone for the CDR market!
Congrats @stripe @nanransohoff @joannaklitzke @FraukeKracke for democratising access to high quality CDR supply

The latest emission gap report just came out. Bottom line: we’re not on track, greenhouse gas emissions still haven’t started to decrease.
The cover is absolutely brilliant !

Neat overview indeed.
Curious how they assess "scaleability" though as some factors may be fixed (e.g. land use) while others may evolve over time (e.g. energy efficiency)
Costs should probably be a bracket between current and future estimated costs
Thx for sharing @hausfath !
The new UNEP emissions gap report includes a chapter focusing on carbon dioxide removal.
It has a neat figure highlighting the feasibility, scalability, ease of MRV, environmental consequences, public perception, cost, and permanence of CDR pathways: unep.org/resources/emissions…

Critical minerals can unlock a shift from consumable fossil fuels to an energy system based on durable metals.

Great @CatalystPod episode with @shaylekann and EIP colleagues Greg Thiel and @MelissaBall7 on the bread and butter of most early stage climate companies: Techno Economic Analysis.
