    Carousel Technologies (YC W24) is a change-tracking add-in for PowerPoint/Excel designed to help bankers & consultants review client deliverables faster and with fewer errors. In investment banking or consulting, the end product is usually a PowerPoint presentation. Getting this presentation just right involves several rounds of review, feedback, and tweaks. This leads to bankers and consultants spending lots of time checking details like updated footnotes or consistent data across tables. Given the importance of these small details, teams often find themselves meticulously reviewing lengthy decks from the start, a process that's both time-consuming and error-prone. Carousel's add-in captures all the changes made to your team’s materials from v1 shell to client PDF, showing you exactly WHO changed WHAT and WHEN. With one click, the add-in highlights everything that changed between any two versions of the model or deck (in your current window, without having to retrieve another file). It’s like a supercharged version of Word's "Track Changes". Congrats on the launch, Daniel Wolf and Jude Rizzo!

    Founding Principal @ Climactic | 🌈

    Team Climactic made it on Yahoo Finance! 🎉 When I co-founded the Duke Impact Investing Group in 2017, I thought about ESG as one thing under the thesis that impact investing can return financial ROI. Three years in I realized they are thematically adjacent and mechanically distinctive. Not lumping ESG together and to focus on the "E", as Josh said, is a key driver to kickstart Climactic. We continue to believe this is the MOST futile soil for high impact, high moat, high return opportunities in the backdrop of #AI. @AI founders curious about climate - let's chat. Hear it directly from Josh and Raj here ⤵

    $12.5 trillion at stake due to climate change? That's the economic toll projected by the @WorldEconomicForum. Our co-founders, @JoshFelser & @RajKapoor, joined @AkikoFujita on @YahooFinance live to discuss the opportunities to invest, how AI & smart software can help businesses achieve net zero goals and how we liberate the E from the E.S.G. We’ve already invested in more than a dozen climate tech startups decarbonizing our planet, and with seed investments ranging from $1-3M, we’re offering a powerful bridge to bring the global reach, scale, and impact of general tech to climate tech startups.
