Just hugged my 4y.o. tight w/tears of joy in my eyes, tried to explain what this means. 😁🥹 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!♥️

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 👋 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! ⛰️
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 👇
@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 🤘💪🚀
@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
