Re: YC Office Hours for Startups Tackling Climate Issues
#2"Office Hours for Startups Tackling Climate Issues" is an awkward title. Lots of companies are "tackling climate issues" without that being their sole focus. My first read of the title was that this was about companies shifting their office hours to reduce heat/ac loads, or to facilitate commuting schedules.

I don't see what you mean, but if someone wants to suggest a better—i.e. more accurate and neutral—title, we can change it.

Came here to say exactly this. In fact if there are any articles about that, I'd appreciate if someone would post them here.

I read it the same way. Perhaps simply changing it to `YCombinator Office Hours...` would be enough to guide the reader to the right meaning? Or `YC Open Office Hours...`?

#9I know a few startups that may be interested and that I'd like to show this to, but I'm not sure if they qualify as "tackling climate". I would describe their "category" as energy-transition related, but definitely driven by the consequences of climate change.
For example, one startup is focused at the intersection of energy suppliers and consumers, trying to create win-win situations that match supply (complex due to wind/solar/etc variations) and demand. This is intentionally vague, sorry.
Could someone at YC give a slightly longer explanation of the startups they encourage to apply for this coaching session?
