Deep climate expertise has always been at the core of Watershed’s differentiation. I couldn’t be more excited about working with @suhstainable and the VitalMetrics team to keep pushing the boundaries of carbon measurement & reductions.

Big news: we’ve acquired VitalMetrics, the leader in science-backed carbon data. Climate action starts with good data, and we’re excited to help companies everywhere cut emissions fast. watershed.com/product/carbon…

Watershed customers @Samsara, @Stripe, @TaskUs, and more are supporting the construction of a brand new solar plant in Texas through a fixed-price VPPA. When completed, the solar energy produced by the plant will avoid 13K tons of CO2 emissions every year. watershed.com/blog/announcin…

When we started @watershed, one of our goals was democratizing climate action. Ensuring that everyone (regardless of size) had access to the most impactful and additional climate reduction opportunities. So excited to see this manifested in our partnership with Frontier.
Watershed@watershed

We’re partnering with Frontier to bring climate-critical permanent carbon removal to companies of all sizes and sectors. @boomsupersonic, @Canva, @SKIMS, and @Zendesk are raising the bar for climate leadership as the first Watershed customers to participate. watershed.com/blog/watershed…

@charliermarsh @bernhardsson That's us at @watershed :) We've been running duckdb in production for ~the last year. Have doubled down on it over that time for more and more functionality. We're using it in a couple of ways, both as a service and and directly in-memory in async jobs.

@bernhardsson I talked to one Series B enterprise SaaS company that's using it extensively for customer-facing features. It was super interesting. Wish I could share more but probably can't.

DuckDB seems to be getting a lot of love from people using it locally to explore data. Very curious if anyone has run it in production though? How would one do that?

Today we're sharing a template for it, so you can do the same with your own team: @avi-itskovich/watersheds-personal-priorities-ritual" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">coda.io/@avi-itskovich… We're hoping others can use it to help their teams cultivate trust & belonging in a similar way.

One of our most unique and beloved operating principles at @watershed is “operate at the intersection of intensity and care”. It’s the cornerstone of our culture at Watershed.

One of our operating principles is "make our customers proud". All the examples we talk about are the things our climate leads (Mia, Ameet, Ebba, and others) have done using Watershed at their respective companies. Come check out what they've been able to do.
Watershed@watershed

Whatever their official titles, #ClimateLeads make corporate climate progress happen—envisioning a lower-carbon future, and translating it into concrete steps to take today. Today we’re profiling six of them: what they do, how they do it, and what they’ve learned.

Fifteen years ago, seeing An Inconvenient Truth was my wake-up call on climate. Today, it’s an enormous honor to welcome @AlGore as a @Watershed investor, and to chat with him about the joy of working on this problem every day: watershed.com/blog/al-gore-o…

Code anywhere. We value consistency across our product & codebase. Any engineer should feel comfortable writing code in any part of Watershed; this means a monorepo with macroservices. Making sweeping changes is easy and quick. 4/5

Earlier today we announced our Series B and a new set of advisors to help accelerate our fight against climate change. As we build the software to help businesses decarbonize, we’ve seen the following engineering values have an outsized impact: 1/5

The urgency of climate action is building every day. To help companies decarbonize faster, we’ve raised a Series B from @kleinerperkins and @sequoia and are bringing on two long-time climate leaders as advisors: @CFigueres and @MarkJCarney. watershedclimate.com/blog/series-b
