Yesterday, there was a seismic shift in Australia's Climate Tech scene.   Sumday completed a $5.3M seed round, and I love it for 3 key reasons.   1. This is the first international investment from renowned Climate Tech investor Sophie Purdom's New York-based VC fund Planeteer Capital. A big deal globally. Go Australia!   2. An Aussie start-up being funded by a US VC to take on the world. Who said Silicon Valley was the centre of the start-up world? Jason Calacanis, eat your heart out! 😁   3. Sumday is a Tasmanian start-up. May this give inspiration to other start-ups that capital flows not just to Sydney and Melbourne.   Well done to the Sumday team - looking forward to seeing the progress with this behind you.   Is this the change of the tide? 🤞 Article link in the comments. #climatetech #startups #VC

This week I had the pleasure of hosting the participants of the Bina program - a group of extraordinary master students from Weizmann Institute of Science. We talked about the fundamentals of VC investing and how entrepreneurs - especially in the #deep_tech and real sciences domains - can better prepare themselves for meeting investors. Can't wait to see how they pitch their startup ideas next week! Bina - Bridge Innovate Nurture Advance, Grove Ventures, Dov Moran, Renana Ashkenazi

A proud #angel moment 😇! Maxterial, Inc. just closed its #seriesA, at almost U$8Million, in a challenging fund raising market.

Every week the BADideas.fund investment team gang joins the weekly call ready to have a heated debate on where industries are going and the startup teams we're eyeing. 💪 The commitment level of everyone is just amazing, but Lauris Lietavietis just raised the bar. 👀 We joked that Lauris, being on a ski trip, might join the call from a snowy slope – and sure enough, he did! All in his ski gear, dialing in between pistes, he was all ready to go, as if it was a Tuesday. 🔥 If you haven't met Lauris, his dedication is matched only by his superpower to turbocharge startups – transforming founder-led efforts into scalable sales engines.
