Hey there, my dear LinkedIn visitor 👋 Here I'm supposed to sum up my life 👇 Well. I started as a software engineer in Chicago. Joined a hyper-growth startup in San Francisco. Launched a cleantech business in Kenya. Became a VC investor in Berlin. And launched a VC fund in Germany... Pfiou 😮💨 (yeah, been grinding...) Real talk? A lot of hustle. Some wins, many scars, endless learning. And it all led to one big realization: I’m here to take on the greatest challenge of our time: the climate crisis. Why? Because we need healthy food, safe water, clean air, and a thriving biosphere to survive. Oh, and to find meaning in life. As for humanoid robots, Skynet, and living on Mars under oxygen masks... I’ll leave that to the Silicon Valley bros. So, how am I tackling this climate crisis? I’ve found my superpower: Investing. 8 years, 42 startups, 6.13x ROI 🔥 (unrealized, most investments still in play) 📌 Check out my weekly actionable tips for boosting your Climate Fund, Startup, or Career 👉 https://climateinsiders.substack.com/ My mission now?
