Last week Stonly Blue and I lead an AI workflows workshop at the Third Sphere conference in Tulsa and here are just some of the questions we answered: - can you make yourself "more leveraged" by automating tasks? A: yes! - what automations should you build in house versus buy? A: buy if you can - what to look for in AI tools you buy? A: privacy & how they do model training We went into everything from prompt engineering to building lightweight agents with Zapier to some of the work we've been doing at Streamline Climate. 👉 One thing to remember with all of these AI-powered-workflows -- speaking as the founder of one -- is that you are the driver in these interactions. In our case, Streamline's ability to help is extremely limited if you have no grant strategy or ideas for your business. Workflow automations help you double down on something that works. -- Huge shoutout to the wonderful team at Atento Capital (especially Vondell J. Burns 💚) that hosted us, planned tours, and exposed us to the exciting happenings in town (including Tulsa Tough 🚴♀️!!). Lots of dreaming along with action. I wouldn't be surprised if Tulsa, which was once "the oil capital of the world", became the "energy capital of the world." Also shoutout to the Third Sphere team for bringing such a good crew together - Miela Mayer, Shaun Abrahamson, Stonly Blue, Zeev Krieger 🙏 If you want to recreate the workshop, check out Stonly's post here: https://lnkd.in/gU_8aqN5

Just got off a call with Streamline Climate and I have to say, VERY cool tool for those looking to apply to grants. It's the chat.gpt of grant management. https://lnkd.in/gUCM_abP #streamline

It's SF #Climate Week 🌎! 100+ folks kicked off the week strong with THE climate week run this morning. Shoutout to Emily Moini from our team and our co-host Olivia Heitz from Banyan Infrastructure who led the way 🏃♀️ Additional shoutouts to A Runner's Mind and ASICS Corporation for the coffee, donuts, vibes, and demo shoes 👟 We'll be around events all week - come say hi 👋

#SFClimateWeek is coming 🥳 Our coming out of stealth moment for Streamline was hosting our "Diverse Capital Stack" event at SFCW last year with Pear VC (photos below!). At that point it was just Douglas Qian, Dhen Emmanuel Padilla and I. This year we're back with 2x the team... and 4x the events 👏. At Streamline Climate we work across the climate sector and I'm excited for the opportunity to bring several communities together-- across crazy outdoorsy runners to financiers to electrification folks to machine learning people. 🏃♀️ Monday: Run! https://lnkd.in/gQxM2dFq We have 200+ attending and partnering with Banyan Infrastructure and A Runner's Mind to make this possible. We'll have special surprises -- something to try on (hint: ASICS Corporation) and to keep (hint: 🎨 Nicole Kelner) for the first 100. ⚡️Tuesday: EV Happy Hour https://lnkd.in/gKFJcqQ5 Together with Kieran White from Curo and Vince Wong from ElectricFish, we're bringing together innovators across EVs and EV Charging. Space is limited so register asap 🤞 💸 Wednesday: Financing CDR https://lnkd.in/gxB3u3yv A series of conversations around carbon dioxide removal and how to get it funded, with speakers across the funding stack, and experienced founders speaking about their learnings. Shoutout to Andy Rapista in pulling this crew together and Mercury and Fifty Years for sponsoring! Come hear from the team Elemental Excelerator, Tenzin Seldon from Pulse Fund, Melissa Zhang from Azimuth Capital, Grant Canary from Mast Reforestation, Shelley Golan from Mercury, Luc Gerdes from Camber Road, Tom Green from Vesta, PBC, Mira Nagarajan from Origen, and Leo Hyoungkun Park, PhD from Capture6 🚀 🧠 Thursday: Today's ML solutions https://lu.ma/aiforclimate With all the hype in #generativeAI we wanted to make space to speak about machine learning's potential in tackling climate change. We'll be hearing about Diego Saez Gil's story in building Pachama, Emmalina Glinskis' experience at Floodbase, and Peetak Mitra's lessons from Climate Change AI and more recently at Excarta. (Thrilled to rope in a good friend and Climate + AI advocate Rohan Nuttall to moderate 🫶). This is made possible by Pear VC and Mercury 💚 ---- Finally... if you're overwhelmed by the full SFCW event list, I made a quick list of events for those of us more introvert-inclined. Here's my Climate Week Plan: https://lnkd.in/g7zJsN9e

We're excited to be co-hosting "Amped Up Affair," and EV Happy Hour with our friends at Curo and ElectricFish! The event will be hosted on Tuesday, April 23rd -- one of so many great events upcoming as part of #SFClimateWeek. ⚡️⚡️ https://lnkd.in/g6sfQS22

This past September, I was a total newbie to the climate space— I felt nervous about attending events with experts across the climate tech ecosystem. I put aside those feelings and attended NY Climate Week, starting with a Climate Week Run hosted by Planeteer Capital. Later that week, I met the Streamline Climate team for the first time. We hit it off and, a few weeks later, I moved to SF and started working with the team in-person. Fast forward just a few months later, and I’m now organizing THE kickoff run for #SFClimateWeek, sponsored by Streamline Climate, Banyan Infrastructure, and ASICS Corporation. We welcome folks across any stage of their journey into the climate space, from climate newbies to industry veterans. Thanks to Helena Merk, Rod Kyle Paras, and Olivia Heitz for helping to organize! Here’s to showing up to the events and opportunities that spark your curiosity— you never know who you’ll end up crossing paths with along the way. Register for the Climate Week Kickoff Run at the link below, and drop me a message if you’ll be attending. See you out there!

Together with Banyan Infrastructure we're hosting THE #SFClimateWeek Run to get a "running start" to the week – 🤫 To make the event extra special, we’re partnering with a local running store and a well known shoe brand... we may have something for you to try on 👟!! 👉 Register here: lu.ma/climateweekrun Thanks to Emily Moini from Streamline Climate as well as Olivia Heitz and Rod Kyle Paras from Banyan for leading the run 💚

I never thought my life in startups would bring me to DC, but turns out, you can’t be interested in climate and NOT be political 🌎 Together with 150 #climatetech businesses, I spent the last few days in meetings in capitol hill to discuss recent climate policy's impact on US businesses-- thanks to the teams at Rewiring America, Elemental Excelerator, Climate Power, Ceres, Inc. for organizing 👏 At Streamline Climate we sit at the interface between innovation and catalytic government funding. This means we’re directly seeing the impact of recent policies like #InflationReductionAct #IRA, #BIL, #CHIPS on startups and scale-ups as they are winning grant funding and launching projects around the country. Climate Power’s recent report (came out Monday morning!) solidified a lot of our anecdotal experiences into numbers — Since Biden’s Clean Energy Plan was signed into law in August 2022, $352 BILLION in investments have been made across 47 states. That’s created 271,788 new jobs. … How did I (and Streamline) get here? 🌎 2 years ago I pivoted my career into #climate. My hesitation to diving in sooner, was an imposter syndrome about “who was I to work in climate”. My background was all software and product, and when looking at the landscape of issues it was hard to pin point if I could actually make an impact. I thought I should stay away from both politics and deeptech (comical in hindsight), as they felt too removed from my world to make a significant impact. 🏗️ 1 year ago, Douglas Qian and I started Streamline Climate after meeting with hundreds of deeptech companies. We studied their challenges in scaling. Turns out it’s exactly the same problems that slow down businesses across any sector — back office admin work! Except in this case, it was about navigating government funding opportunities and complying with their reporting requirements. I vividly remember thinking "If we don’t reach our climate goals because of piles of paperwork, that would be tragically embarrassing." Navigating government funding effects every single climate tech company (not to mention all nonprofits, local governments, CBOs, LMI communities...). Any organization creating something in the physical world (with “atoms not bits”) goes through the motion of finding, applying, and managing grant awards. 🚀 Today Streamline is live and supporting organizations in this work after spending the bulk of last year building with design partners. Thanks again to Rewiring America for the opportunity 💚. Special shoutout to Ian Magruder who runs the CEOs for Electrification Coalition who made this possible and Kristin G. Eberhard, JD for leading our hill sessions.
