I’m also from the UK and I think this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. As a UK founder that has raised in the UK, I have seen our US competitors raise substantially more with substan…

Neither investment in EVs and repairing transmission issues live in isolation and both can be invested in at the same time. Solving one issue might also help solve the other (e.g. …

Our business has an API that can be used for displaying dynamic information at point of sale (i.e. dynamic in that it cannot be cached and will need a DB call). While we encourage …

Damage costs != offsetting costs Every extra tonne of CO2 does cost $196+ (I’ve seen credible estimates as high as $400), but through offsetting you could verifiably ensure that mo…
