Big news - I officially sold Acclimate!

The newsletter started as a fun side project to help me learn more about climate tech and clean energy.

But after working solo for a few months, I realized I miss collaborating and accomplishing big things with people.

I’m exploring roles in renewable energy, electric transportation, construction, and similar software built for the physical world.

If you need full or part-time product or marketing expertise, let’s talk!

@anothercohen Posting shit like this will only perpetuate the thing he's complaining about too.

No one with any other options is going to see this and be like yeah, sign me up.

@RomeenSheth The larger the org, the more true this becomes

@tylertringas This is compounded by the fact that at their core, these are all emotional needs. There's no silver-bullet playbook that works for everyone, making it easier to grift

@jryedinak Any criteria for the vertical?

@lizgiorgi Attempting to lock in salaries as part of funding is so bizarre

@mattyglesias Aren't these just NIMBY's disguised as environmentalists?

Big news! I’m working on Acclimate full-time.

I’ve been interested in climate and clean energy for a long time.

Then the IRA passed and I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

[Rick Jarrell @heyrickjarrell]

Acclimate is now a daily newsletter on what’s driving the clean energy transition and why, including renewable energy, electric vehicles, building electrification, and more.

Most important… no doom, no information overload.

[Rick Jarrell @heyrickjarrell]

@JayCoDon Exactly. Lifetime access deals are great for short-term cash flow and will be subtracted from the acquisition price if you try to sell.

Plus, the creator isn't incentivized to continue delivering value if they aren't getting paid more so it's likely to become a crappy product

@Dr_Keefer @opg @BentFlyvbjerg @dgardner Good stuff. Adding this to the newsletter tomorrow. https://t.co/b3FWNz7vOw

@JMatthewMcGarry @beehiiv Damn wish I wasn’t a beehive early adopter

[Rick Jarrell @heyrickjarrell]

@pauldm Subscriber growth. I enjoy content, running ads, and analyzing audience. Just really don’t enjoy running paid ads

[Rick Jarrell @heyrickjarrell]

@quinnemmett @beehiiv Let's do it! We gotta catch up to all these AI newsletters :)
