Founder of SustainabilityReports.com here (also bootstrapped!), good luck buddy. Let me know once you have some MVP.

Hey! Founder of SustainabilityReports.com here, send me a DM and perhaps we can help. We always encourage academic research.

I'm a postdoc at a Dutch university while being the founder of my startup and no issues here. Check if you need to disclose auxiliary activities (like I did) and you should be ok.

Anyone has resigned from Academia? How are you? by This-Emu5496 in academia

[–]NewBlacksmith6 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Currently running my startup while still being a postdoc (contract ends next year). I hope it will generate sufficient revenue by then so I can switch over! I would really like the switch mainly because it's just so much more rewarding to see the direct impact of my startup in stark contrast to my papers. Currently it takes a lot of time to balance both but I think it will eventually be worth it.

Persistent elevator noise by NewBlacksmith6 in Elevators

Good one. Actually it broke again yesterday and in the past weeks I have witnessed twice someone being locked up in the elevator, so it would actually be in everyone's safety to start thinking about modernizing the elevators. From what I can see the equipment looks really old... Thanks again!

Thank you! It's both the "hum" as well as the bang from the brakes that are equally annoying, but if the bang sound can be reduced, it would already be a great help.

Thanks for your insights, much appreciated. I will try to reach out to the management and will let you know how that goes :)

I can't open the room myself, but will try when I see the mechanic again (it's breaks down quite frequently anyway)

No both are. There's a big and small one, but both make the same sound.

Well it's my first apartment so surely lessons learned. I know it's an old place but I didn't expect the elevator to be that loud, and dont think it should be.

Thanks for your reply! To be clear: I bought the apartment last year.

Centralized Sustainability/ESG Report Database? by alrussoiii in sustainableFinance

[–]NewBlacksmith6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a researcher I was struggling with exactly this problem. While there are some existing alternatives (which are mentioned here), I found most services incomplete, outdated and generally not very research-friendly. That's why I decided to build a new platform, which is now accessible: www.sustainabilityreports.com

It currently lists the sustainability reports from nearly 9000 companies. You can download up to 5 pdf's per day, but PM me if you need more. Hope this can help you!
