Hi friends! I'm excited to introduce you to our newest portfolio company, Halcyon, an AI platform purpose built to organize the world's energy information to help developers, asset owners, and investors navigate the energy transition. The talent density in this startup blew our minds. Senior technology talent from Stripe and Twitter like Bruce Falck and Alexander Huras, alongside the legendary Nat Bullard (whose rigorous insights we all plagiarize as our own? Just me?) Its a thrill to work closely with, and potentially soon disappoint, friends on the board like Big Brother Beebe (BBB) Andrew Beebe and the young upstart Abe Yokell, who already deeply disappointed me by hiring a more talented Dutta in Tanuj Dutta. Read on below!

congrats Shomik! This sounds exciting! I am only beginning to learn about AI so I have a novice’s question for you: At the same time that AI can make a transformational difference on climate, the energy transition, biodiversity restoration, etc, it also uses a tremendous amount of energy. Is this energy use Taken into account in order to determine the net benefits of some of these AI innovations? thank you!
Congratulations on the exciting addition to your portfolio! Halcyon sounds like an incredible venture with a stellar team driving innovation forward. It's inspiring to see talent from esteemed companies like Stripe and Twitter coming together to tackle the challenges of the energy transition.
