Sustainability, Tech, & Energy
Writing and media work
My newsletter, Keep Cool, reaches 16,000+ operators, investors, policymakers, and other key decision-makers in climate tech, sustainability, and energy.
I lead the Editorial program and writing efforts at Advanced Research for Climate Emergencies, a philanthropic arm of Renaissance Philanthropy.
I also write a newsletter on super pollutants (superpollute) with Lauren Singer
Investing work
I’m a first-check/pre-seed and seed-stage investor, focused on 'underpriced' stories at the intersection of sustainability, climate, energy, and new market categories. I also advise startups on fundraising, storytelling, and their GTM.
Freelance work
In addition to hands-on startup storytelling support, I often take on freelance work to help climate & energy tech clients write newsletters, white papers, blog posts, & social copy.
Combined across platforms, this behind-the-scenes writing & creative direction has reached well over 150,000 people on regular cadences previously, catalyzed funding rounds, GTM efforts, and substantial audience growth for my clients.
