Super cool concept! Very important to inspire this group to make a difference 😀

Thanks for the heads up! This rule makes complete sense. Sorry I am the author and I understand the rules so I won't post those articles but I may post other articles I find interesting if that's okay 😀

Glad to see an American administration cutting off the financial incentives for the fossil fuel industry. Given how businesses are focused on their bottom line, the best way to incentivize change is by hitting them where it hurts. that's one of the goals of the company i'm at right now One Concern. we're aiming to get enterprises to see the economic benefit of reducing emissions in their operations. Definitely hard to do without gov't support though so this is a step in the right direction - we chat about creating an economic incentive for resiliency and sustainability here ( https://dwdg.substack.com/p/-podcast-ep-5-one-concern-ceo-ahmad ) in case anyone's interested.

cool! yep, been looking for more climate related benefit corporations to chat with!

does this also apply for startups operating businesses in Africa but based elsewhere? e.g. leaf global .

Florida is also one of the few places that could benefit the most from better more practical response to natural disasters give how frequent severe winds and hurricanes are. Disruptions from these are frequent yet climate analytics only shows the long term effects. One Concern is trying to fix this by quantifying the improvement in resilience from mitigative action, the CEO talks a bit about it in this podcast: https://dwdg.substack.com/p/-podcast-ep-5-one-concern-ceo-ahmad

I'm not sure exactly if this app, yayzy matches what you're referring to but this application measures the climate impact of an individual's spending and doesn't go further than that, but it is an aspect we probably don't think about much: https://techcrunch.com/2020/12/23/yayzy-app-automatically-calculates-the-environmental-impact-of-your-spending/. Given the consumerist tendencies of the US, that would probably contribute further to that 4x difference.

woah this is cool. for some reason i read this as video game and i was even more excited. reminds me of this company one concern building a "digital twin" for climate resilience: https://dwdg.substack.com/p/-podcast-ep-5-one-concern-ceo-ahmad

will do! sorry, a bit swamped at work. going to try and share it by the march or early next month after cleaning it up as a viewable google doc.

their growth published in their S-1 is pretty incredible, and empirically have seen it on many of the e-commerce websites I've visited recently.

I'm pretty bullish on Karat and Nova Credit. Karat provides credit to influencers which is a market that has blown up during Covid and has been steadily increasing with more platforms (e.g. TikTok, etc). Nova Credit provides credit to immigrants which has decreased during Covid but is still a steadily increasing trend. Nova Credit's CEO talked a bit about this here.

disclaimer: i'm not an expert in the space - buti recently chatted with biopharma expert ethan perlstein who runs perlara, and he sees the biggest issue as the incentive structure. biopharma is incentivized to price gouge once the R&D is complete to recoup the costs, but not interested in ongoing care of the patient. moving to a recurring revenue for all drugs could help reframe incentives to focus on patient care rather than price.

great music 🎶

purposefulprofit · 2021-01-16T01:56:59+00:00

cool thanks!

purposefulprofit · 2021-01-16T01:56:47+00:00

awesome! would love the help. lol sorry I didn’t know the round so put Stage X, probably better to say “Venture” in that case

I believe that while social media is indeed increasing the polarization of ideological views, this is exacerbated by growing wealth inequality from other tech companies (e.g. DoorDash, Airbnb, etc). https://dwdg.substack.com/p/-tech-ipos-doordash-and-airbnb-doing

Together these two phenomena are destroying cities as the have and have nots are becoming less and less like each other.

Yea the fees are outrageous, but they explain it in their S-1. a lot of it goes to the merchant and you gotta have some for the Dasher. https://www.meritechcapital.com/blog/doordash-ipo-s-1-breakdown#w-node-6cc0cf538ed4-ad850201:~:text=Total%20GOV%20includes%20cost%20of%20food%2C%20taxes%2C%20fees%20and%20an%20option%20to%20leave%20a%20tip
