Just hugged my 4y.o. tight w/tears of joy in my eyes, tried to explain what this means. ๐๐ฅน This makes EVERYTHING easier from here. We have a REAL shot now to preserve so much for him, his little brother & their generation. They'll finish the job w/the tools this helps build!โฅ๏ธ

If you encounter someone with opinions or perspectives very different from your own, listen twice as much as you speak.
Our natural tendency when we hear a view we disagree with is to respond and refute it.
Default to Listen Mode. You'll learn way more that way.
Hey ๐ We're Spirals, building a protocol to weave regenerative infrastructure directly into any proof of stake blockchain.
Any individual or DAO can choose to stake with validators running Spirals, turning their staking token balance into a climate impact funding machine! โฐ๏ธ
Now seems like a good time to dust off the memo I sent to @flexport's team in early 2019 to explain why we raised a billion dollars of venture capital back then. Many of our employees and most of our existing investors thought it was too much dilution.

This week featured a number of 9 figure deals across climate tech.
A few that even a touch controversial as to whether they qualify as 'climate tech'!
Here were my top 5 deals of the week ๐
@gnovak_@gitcoin@ClimatetechT a podcast bringing web2 and web3 climate impact startups and our sibling @CarbonCaptors a community owned investment fund for carbon sequestration startups ๐ค๐ช๐
@BenWest we just wanted to say thank you for your hard work and all the folks making this #GR13 a huge success already. At ClimateTech Talks we want to bring more web2 voices to the web3 Climate/Crypto conversation.
the idea is to interview people at @Stripe@Microsoft and @Shopify that are showing clear climate leadership in supporting the CDR ecosystem and helping deep tech startups scale
and also please consider contributing to our sister grant @CarbonCaptors , media, information, web2 community onboarding are all essential to increase and optimize the role of #ReFi in the future. It's one of our pillars to increase investment opportunities as well.
@stripe@Microsoft@Shopify Finally we leave you with our Grant page, as you know every single DAI helps, let us grow and spread the #ReFi love https://t.co/in9EiMnO3j
