Work Experience

  • Managing Partner & Co-founder

    2013

    Third Sphere is a venture platform that works for founders accelerating the transformation of global systems to better serve humanity and the planet now and into the future. Our diverse team consists of veteran angel investors, engineers, and founders themselves, and together we've built a fund that is ranked in the top few percent of climatetech investors on NFX Signal, Founders Choice, Techcrunch and Climate 50. We invest in pre-seed tech for climate change mitigation and adaptation. We believe climate investing usually means hardware investing and so we have expertise as well as additional non-dilutive capital to ensure we can meet the unique needs of climatetech founders. We're supported by a curated community of over twelve thousand people who work with us on Slack and via our proprietary deal sharing and network management platform, which has helped us scale value creation and to achieve industry leading follow-on rates and returns.
