An archive pulled from 230+ issues: pitch deck breakdowns, co-founder and cap table guides, climate sector reads, and the investor lists worth bookmarking.
If you’re building in climate, deeptech, or anything that doesn’t get hyped by TechCrunch every 30 seconds...
You need leverage.
Not just good vibes and green logos.
You need frameworks that cut through noise, investor lists that open doors, pitch decks that actually raise, and hard-won lessons from people who’ve been through the fire, not some VC meme thread on X.
So here’s the deal:
I’ve spent 4.5 years writing this newsletter. 230+ deep posts. Thousands of hours. Hard convos with unicorn founders, top fund managers, and world-class operators in both the US and Europe.
I went back and pulled the most valuable, most actionable posts. And put them right here for you. No fluff. No B.S. No theory.
Just real tools to build real companies.
