Green Sands Equity

My conversation with Robert Skinner at the 79th United Nations General Assembly about: - The Importance of strong institutions and asking the right questions. - Deep Tech’s paradigm shifts for SDG’s - The problem with ESG - Multidemsional engagement for progress - Rabbit holes of wants and curiosities vs values and principles Green Sands Equity #SDGs #PartnershipsForTheGoals #UNGA79 #DeepTech #innovations #WomenInVC #investment #SV #education #UN #Tech #Biotech #Health #Innovation

“I was going to ask God why you allow hunger, war, and suffering in the world but then I was afraid that he might ask me the same question.” Arguably the most powerful role the UN can play is during peacetime for civil society. To achieve this, we must work together, stepping outside our silos to share responsibility by partnering with each other, no matter how inconvenient it may seem. Strong institutions are built with cooperation, accountability, and universal moral values for humanity. #StrongInstitutions #PartnershipsForTheGoals #UNGA79 #WomenInVC #healthequity #vc #stronginstitutions #PE #peace #UnitedNations #GenderEquality #EconomicGrowth #Innovation #ReducedIneqalities #ClimateAction #PeaceJustice #VC #PE #WomenInVC

The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) and SETI Institute announced their collaboration agreement as part of a long-term vision to further the development of AlUla Manara Observatory as a leading destination of the future, for space research, discovery and astro-tourism. As part of the agreement, the SETI Institute will facilitate installation of a Laser SETI instrument at AlUla Manara Observatory. LaserSETI, an optical SETI project, monitors the sky for laser flashes that could indicate the presence of non human made technology. The LaserSETI station would be part of a broader network scanning the entire northern hemisphere night sky from various locations. “Curiosity unites us all as humans, and science is a powerful way to bring people closer together from different geographies and cultural backgrounds.” said Bill Diamond.

Late Post: Lindau Nobel Laureates Physics meeting. Humbling, profound, another world order, where observation and intelligence are the main currency. We are so focused on changing our world that we don’t spend enough time on trying to understand our world. 36 Nobel Laureates attended. It was a true privilege to be invited! #lino24 #physics #tech #science

How a chance meeting between a skeptic and an optimist at the Yacht Club in Zurich, led to Green Sands Switzerland GmbH 🇨🇭 In a world increasingly polarized both geopolitically and economically, the need for bridge builders has never been greater.

We are actively #hiring! Know anyone who might be interested? #physics

Fortune Most Powerful Women 2024. San Francisco. #MPW #FORTUNE #WomenInVC

Italy and Space Meetings Veneto were absolutely wonderful. Where the roads are made of water, it was all the more magical to talk about roads to the sky. The audacity and caliber of aerospace leaders is always inspiring. Space is not really a VC sector so far, Green Sands is going to change that. More to come in a later post! #aeropace #tech #space #spacetech #vc #ai #womeninvc #esa #nasa #isa #italy #veneto

Looking forward to speaking about investment and the influence of geo politics on the development of technology within the Space Industry. However, space technology itself is a vessel that shapes the attitudes of the developers and users. The use of space technology in defense, finance, anything…will change the way we behave. I’m not yet sure if it will be positive or negative, but it will be different. It’s the perspective that once you see something you can’t unsee it. Every idea has an attitude. #spaceexploration #womeninscience #WomenInVC #vc #technology #DiplomacyMatters #space #investment #geospatial #geopolitics #spacelaw #globalspacecourt

Milken Highlights and Lessons: - The best in class Wall Street and Economics quantitative and analytical presentations. - A reunion of international business community and friends. - All the side events and their diversity. - Prominence is a currency, regardless of irrelevance to the subject. - Elon Musk saying one thing I hadn’t heard him say before:“life can’t be about solving one problem after another, you gotta have some curiosity and passion to explore.” It reminded me of why we always try to mimic the curiosity of a child but never can. Children are less aware of the geo politics, adversities, scarcity of time and health etc, so they explore fully without distraction. Another lesson I’ve learned in the past few years is to become resolved with the fact that being an adult is to accept having complex feelings of joy despite sorrow, love despite disappointments, faith before reaching proof, courage despite fear. So perhaps we can have curiosity and passion for exploration while feeling guilty for not doing enough for the problems at hand. - Meeting founder of Axiom Space Kam Ghaffarian. It’s nice to meet someone who knows how to keep planting trees in whose shade he may never sit in. A true visionary in the Space sector. I’ve always felt that the biggest trap about wealth is that we start doing what everyone else does when they have wealth. You are only rich if you can do what YOU really want to do.
