Introducing: America Needs This, a podcast I'm lucky enough to launch with one of my best friends @james_mcwalter & our team at @TheRealCoreVC.
Every week, we'll explore an American crisis and a specific startup idea for how to solve it.

NYC startup folks: we are recording a live podcast of America Needs This next Wednesday (Sep. 16th) at 7 PM.
Every episode, we unpack a big problem facing America and then pitch a specific startup idea that could help solve it.
Should be a fun room.

The economic story of the next decade will be about how quickly we can convert the capital printed by the fed into useful, deflationary technologies, startups, and scientific discoveries.
Thanks @lmushin and @drusenko for organizing this resource for climate founders and including me in your writing/thinking process.
This guide is partially a map of what exists, but also an invitation to build what's missing.
It's an exciting time to be in climate.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is the most important piece of climate legislation in US history, representing a fundamental inflection point.
@drusenko and I wrote a climate founders' guide to the IRA. Thanks @TechCrunch for publishing!
Summary thoughts ⬇️
The striking thing about the reaction to ChatGPT is not just the number of people who are blown away by it, but who they are. These are not people who get excited by every shiny new thing. Clearly something big is happening.
There will likely be an arbitrage for some time between the fast adopters of AI and the laggards.
Adopting AI more quickly will give you a range of superpowers in the short to medium term.
Interesting thread of different use cases:
Two of my best friends in climate, @James_McWalter and Charles Bai at @Paces_AI (YC S22), are starting to build out their team.
If you're looking to build in climate and want to work with awesome founders, let me know!

Super excited about all the possible applications for these new protein diffusion generative models from @namrata_anand2 https://t.co/yAFPVTbepw! The contrast between diffusion for 3D structures vs images is fascinating. Great to see this progress on the structural side.
