I've spent a decade inside climatetech as a founder, operator, policy advisor, and investor. I've scaled Tesla globally, built a DOE-funded startup, and backed companies through two climate syndicates.I know this ecosystem from the inside: which sectors are real, which companies are actually hiring, what signals move the needle, and where experienced professionals get stuck and why.I work with a very small number of clients at a time. People I'm genuinely willing to introduce into my network. If that sounds like the advisory you've been looking for, the application is worth five minutes of your time.

FAQ
Do I need to already be in climate?
No. Some clients are coming from tech and want in. Others are already in climate and want to move smarter or break through to the next level. Both are welcome.Is this career coaching?
No. Career coaches give generic frameworks. This is specific intelligence about a specific ecosystem, and introductions when the fit is right.Why $5,000?
Because this is not a course or a template. It's private access to a decade of climate relationships, pattern recognition, and insider knowledge. The ROI on a single well-placed introduction typically far exceeds the investment.Why is there an application?
Because I put my name behind every client I take on. The application ensures the fit is real for both of us.
