About us
We partner with Seed and Series A founders to make the climate transition a reality. We believe in infinite prosperity on our finite planet. We bridge the gap between traditional tech, climate science, the corporate sector, and policy. We have come together as founders, investors, operators, engineers, and scientists from across the world. We combine optimism with pragmatism to give founders access to the resources, expertise, and the international community required to succeed. Our interdisciplinary team has a single mission: accelerate the shift to an abundant and resilient society that can thrive within our planet’s boundaries. To achieve this, we need to transition every part of our economy. This is the defining challenge of our time. The stakes are high. The need is urgent. The building blocks are in place. And the opportunity is vast, very vast.

🇺🇸 Last week we co-hosted a special event with Union Square Ventures and Andri - read more from our Partner Mona below 🇺🇸
We are late to post this. But better late than never. Last week Transition co-hosted a special event with Union Square Ventures. We had the acclaimed writer and documentary filmmaker Andri Snær Magnason present an incredible speech (accompanied by the talented musician Shahzad Ismaily). Andri discussed the climate crisis. Discussing the climate crisis is difficult even for us who work in it daily. How can we discuss the climate crisis? “Should we draw words for discussing the earth from science, emotions, statistics, or religion? How personal and sentimental can we get? Is it possible to use exaggerated expressions of affection, cold economics, military metaphors, and complex philosophy? Right? Left? Beautiful? Ugly? Economic growth? Is the Earth an underutilized raw material or an infinite holiness? If my life is in danger, if my earth and descendants are in danger, aren’t I obligated to understand what’s at stake? What words manage to define the world?” We were glad to have a lot of our friends at the event. But we are bummed we couldn’t have everyone. However, luckily Andri has this incredible video that you could watch to get inspired. https://lnkd.in/gyFM9_qb

⚡ An exciting update from Clara below 🤩
How will detailed electricity data accelerate the energy transition? 🌍🔍 Check out the latest blog post from our partner Reel, which explores how granular electricity data is driving the energy transition forward. ♻ At Electricity Maps and Reel, we believe that granular electricity data is key to accelerating the shift to cleaner electricity grids. However, accessing high-quality granular data is often incredibly difficult and costly for companies. Our API provides real-time insights that empower companies to build products that help users reduce both carbon emissions and costs. Reel leverages our real-time data to enable organizations to better align their renewable energy production with demand. ⚡ 👉 Learn more about how integrating granular data into corporate strategies and consumer products is accelerating the energy transition in the blog post: https://lnkd.in/drAkF89U #renewableenergy #energytransition #greentech
