“Ideally, we’d view climate change like an alien invasion.
We would put aside national interests and direct a modest multiple of current defense budgets to the problem. Young people would be drafted into “Climate Cores” to carry out large scale transformations like retrofits and reforestation. We already have most of the technologies we need to decarbonize the economy. And agencies like ARPA-E would direct research funding to solve the remaining problems just as we’ve done with space, solar, computing, the Internet and GPS. Then, we’d ride the multigenerational benefits of new technologies.”
- Third Sphere Climate Startup Playbook
We've never seen more interest from founders who want to build a better world for everyone. So we've tried to organize 10 years of learning from our work with over 100 teams and 1000s of pitches. We know startups are central to achieving our climate goals, so we hope this playbook can help founders to slightly increase their chances of success.
Last week we shared chapter one about choosing a climate problem to solve.
