Supercharging deep tech startups @ Forge (climate, bio, space)

🤓 Ready for an interesting fact about the 5 Seattle founders who presented at Founders Live for #PNWClimateWeek?   1) ♻️ Ryan Metzger, CEO and Co-Founder of Ridwell, got a huge early start thanks to a viral Nextdoor post by Ty Wolfe-Jones. Back then they would send a crew to your house via NextDoor and recycle things for you! 2) 🏎️ Tom Gurski of Blue Dot Motorworks is racing to turn your gas car into a plugin hybrid. Even if we shut down the production of new gas cars, we would still be 400% off our Paris Agreement target. 3) 🤨 Daphne de Jong of Ven is taking on the absurdity of paying up to 80% more for insurance if you drive an electric vehicle. 4) ⌚️ Kim Martini is crowdsourcing critical ocean data through smart watches to replace multi-million dollar equipment that ocean scientists are using. 5) 🪑 Xenia Dolovova of Furniture Repair Bank will repair your furniture and give it to resettled refugees and people who recently experienced homelessness. We already have 92 million TONS of discarded furniture in our landfills 😢 So much passion and creativity in #Seattle to solve massive problems. Props to: Georgetown Steam Plant CDA, Sarah O'Sell, Ty Wolfe-Jones, Amelia Marckworth, Kelly Lawton-Abbott, JD/MBA, Louis Newkirk, Luis Antezana, Gary Malcolm, Raxit J., Nick Hughes, Melissa Reaves, Story Fruition, LLC, Bill Sablan, Nick Ellingson, Koki Sato, WTIA, NOW CFO, Countsy
