Hello again.

Nick van Osdol is a writer, strategirst and operator, investor, and startup advisor focused on nonlinear climate system risks and 'underpriced' stories in sustainability, climate, and energy.

He’s a first-check through seed-stage investor at Climate Capital, sitting on two investment committies for two funds, where he focuses on category creation opportunities (e.g., weather modification). He also makes angel investments a few times a year. In his startup advising capacities, he often works directly with small teams, both within his portfolio and not, to help brainstorm, pressure test, and refine storytelling, fundraising strategy, and GTM strategies.

All of these activities are leveraged by his owned-and-operated B2B media platform, Keep Cool, which provides news, analysis, & opinion weekly via both newsletters & podcasts to 15,000+ operators, investors, & policymakers in U.S. sustainability and energy circles.

Otherwise, he enjoys reading and writing fiction and poetry, photography, old stick shift cars with no SIM cards, and spending as much time outside as possible. @nickvanosdol on social.
