I definately have never donated to Donald Trump and would never. It would have been easy to google tech for campaigns https://www.techforcampaigns.org/ .

I work as a group partner at Y Combinator. Over the last 48 hours I've talked to numerous founders of YC companies who told me they can't make payroll to their employees next week.…

Making the world cut demand for concrete might actually sound dramatically harder than making zero-emission concrete. (and both are extremely hard!)

We are big believers in Nuclear energy, and it's part of the RFS. But many other sectors need to be electrified for nuclear power to have its decarbonization impact: buildings, ind…

Which ideas are doomed to fail? I would love to hear your feedback

This isn't correct. SAFE isn't a debt instrument - its a right to own shares in a future round. You are probably thinking of convertible debt.

I hope my answer didn't come off as ignorant to the COTAP story - I'm sorry if it did. Thanks for sharing the backstory on Cool Effect. Their effort on marketing to me also reflect…

Great idea. This is what Pachama uses to base their analysis on. https://www.pachama.com - They did YC winter 2019.

This is a really good point. The goal of both Wren and COTAP is to have the most impact solving climate change. Having the most impact doesn't have to mean you charge the lowest fe…

Y Combinator funded https://www.pachama.com/ in the batch of YC. They're building a marketplace of carbon credit to enable exactly this. They're hiring for engineering and operatio…

The reason I'm so interested in Direct Air Capture is: - It's primarily a tech solution which allows for scale. If you build one Machine you can build a million. It won't actually …

People are. But that's just one bet. There are lots of components in the ecosystem needed to make everything succeed

Yes, you are correct. Cheap energy is the main input to Direct-Air-Capture. Overflow energy from Solar and Wind is a great source of that.
