Opinions my own, facts are always facts tho.

Who knew analyzing #snow could be so interesting and what implications it may have to mitigating #ClimateCrisis?

@helen_ventures had a look at new tech. Here's my brief analysis about the emerging industry around #SWE, #forecasting #water flow, #hydropower, #freshwater, #HPR

Tehtiin uusi sijoitus! Jos tunnet mut, niin tiedät miten haistelen asioita. 😃 Ja nyt on kova juttu! EvodiaBio pystyy tuottamaan kasvien aromeita resurssiviisaasti hiivoissa. Ja koska ei tarvitse uuttaa aromeita humalasta, niin alkoholiton IPAkin saadaan vihdoin maistumaan!

We are in the midst of an incredible clean energy transformation

>EVs up from 0 to 17m in 1 decade, will reach 230m to 500m by 2030

>solar up from 72 to 854GW in 1 decade, will be 8,000GW by 2030

And check out heat pumps, green hydrogen and wind!

Climate action, in action

Finnish companies owned by private equity and venture capital investors are growing significantly faster than other companies in terms of turnover and headcount growth. https://t.co/ARQywgwwe6 @FVCAfi @woltapp @supercell @MustiGroup #goodnewsfromfinland #finland

[Jamie Henn @jamieclimate]

The media keeps saying “energy prices are going up” when really it’s just “fossil fuel” prices. Renewables are getting cheaper every day.

Thanks for hosting us @SakkeRantala, @PutaansuuJenni and @KemijokiOy!

[Sakke Rantala @SakkeRantala]

A group of @WecFinland Future Energy Leaders (FEL) visited @KemijokiOy #hydropower plant Kurkiaska. The refurbishment is carried out by @Andritz and VEO. For many, this marked the first visit to a hydropower plant and we got the opportunity to see the "heart" of it.

As much of the world shies away from nuclear power, Finland is plowing ahead with new reactors and a "game changer" plan to store radioactive waste for 100,000 years. https://t.co/agVIvMzDn7? # via @HuffPostGreen

“A startup’s first hires are similarly key in whether a startup makes it — or fails. So to truly help companies scale, VCs need to put more focus on supporting early hires.”

And here’s how, Maki’s @reettahei shares with @Siftedeu: https://t.co/OohkBO9BVX

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

The world’s largest coal plant is being turned into a huge #solar farm. It's time we all made the switch to #renewables

We have the solutions to the #climatecrisis. Let's shift the subsidies & implement them. #ActOnClimate

[Joose Väinölä @vaeinoelae]

What is your #CVC strategy? Invest in close to the core or far ahead?

I agree with this one: "Feeding the current business [..] might be juicy, but you don’t need a huge ladder (i.e. a CVC fund) to grasp it."

➡ The far ahead model adds real value.
