    Hey ! I'm an engineer with experience building utility-scale solar and backend software at bay area companies.

    I'm building ClimateCap (https://www.climatecap.io/) -- software to collect data and develop intelligence on climate-related risks and opportunities for climate finance.

    My belief is that climate change is an incentives problem.

    Currently, incentives vary geographically but they'll converge when physical and transitional risks are priced into every business model.

    The allocation of capital that follows is estimated to be ~$1T USD/year for the foreseeable future (Source: https://fsb-tcfd.org/).

    I'm launching a beta feature called "Climate-Related Financial Disclosures", giving anyone access to a list of climate risks and opportunities disclosed by US companies in their latest financial filings (10K, SEC), see https://www.climatecap.io/app

    The sole motivation of this launch is to talk to people in the space and build a product roadmap along the vision above.

    Drop me a note if you have feedback or ideas of who I should talk to.
