Thesis

Climate solutions must be economically viable businesses. Fund technologies that profitably slash CO2 emissions, remove carbon from the atmosphere, and build climate resilience. Back technical founders solving "crazy scale" problems with 5-10+ year horizons.

Likely not a fit for

Vaporware, unproven technology without clear scale path, ventures without strong technical teams, fashion/consumer goods without genuine climate impact
