Water and wastewater utilities, and possible also water majors, should think hard about pooling their assets in a “Got Milk” style campaign about clean water and sanitation domestically. Stronger together, everyone benefits, massive coverage. H/t @rorysutherland

Welp, this is the only time my take on anything is going to be sandwiched between the one and only Carl Ferenbach and Alan frickin’ Horn (who was one of the best clad guests I was privileged enough to see speak). Jayzuz. Thanks ⁦@HBSAlumni⁩ alumni.hbs.edu/stories/Pages/…

Soooooo it’s a year since I went full-time @BurntIslandVC. It’s been quite the learning curve, and my most massivest 🙏🙏🙏🙏 to all the people who have supported what we’re trying to build. From the bottom of my 💙, thank you. And let me know how I can be helpful 🥸

We're hiring for two Summer Associates (June - August) - details at bit.ly/3nXCmER. Deadline May 30th. No "3 years of Investment Banking" nonsense. Looking for smart, diligent, creative, fun, fast-moving people for an inside look at building a venture fund. It'll be fun.

We're hiring for two exceptional Summer Associates - one on the investment analysis side, and one in communications and community. I'm biased, but it's a great opportunity to experience the reality of an early stage fund.
