🎧 We’ve got a hot new episode of Hope Dose for you!

“We use the strontium to make essentially batteries that never die.” — Staff Sheehan

Today, we sit down with down with Dr. Staff Sheehan, co-founder and CEO of Project Omega — his first legit interview since the company came out of stealth.

We all know countries are tripling down on nuclear energy, but what about all of the waste? Project Omega is tackling one of the most stubborn problems in clean energy: the roughly 100,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel sitting on the campuses of power plants across America, managed — almost unbelievably — through decades of lawsuits rather than a real plan. Staff’s insight is that this “waste” still holds more than 90% of its original energy and is more than 95% reusable uranium. Project Omega recycles it: pulling out the reusable fuel, and turning the leftover fission products like strontium-90 into tiny, long-duration power sources — what Staff calls “batteries that never die.”

Guest bio

Dr. Staff (Stafford) Sheehan is an American scientist and serial entrepreneur, and the founder and CEO of Project Omega, a nuclear recycling company rebuilding the US nuclear fuel cycle. Project Omega recycles spent nuclear fuel into long-duration, high-density power sources and critical materials for the advanced reactor industry, working with the Department of Energy’s Idaho National Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The company emerged from stealth in February 2026 with an oversubscribed $12M seed round led by Starship Ventures.

Previously, Staff co-founded Air Company, where as CTO he invented a carbon-dioxide-to-hydrocarbon catalysis process — first commercialized as vodka and perfume, then as sustainable aviation fuel, including powering a US Air Force drone on CO2-derived jet fuel. He holds a PhD in physical chemistry from Yale and is a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum.

Key takeaways

• America stores ~100,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel across 100+ sites — and that fuel still contains 90%+ of its energy and is 95%+ reusable uranium.

• The current US “plan” for waste is largely concrete storage pads plus settlement payments, after the government defaulted on its 1998 obligation under the Standard Contract.

• Project Omega’s wedge product is a betavoltaic power source built from strontium-90 — a “battery that never dies” over a span of decades.

• Recycling first removes the hard-to-contain fission products (strontium, cesium) and shrinks the truly-permanent waste from “the size of a room” to “the size of a tennis ball.”

• The go-to-market mirrors solar cells: start in high-value government/defense applications, ride the cost curve down toward commercial uses like edge compute and AI power.

• Early revenue is the hardware survival strategy — the comp Staff and Matt discuss is Avalanche Energy (a fellow portfolio company), which found ways to earn revenue before the ultimate goal.

THE IV — June 2, 2026

Oil prices and the “drill baby drill” mantra got you stressed? We’ve got the antidote: solar, energy storage, and electric buses. Not to mention a bit of a reprieve from the US redistricting wars. Yeah, we’re not quite f*d.

Even though the Iran War is resulting an oil price spike, US energy storage capacity is also soaring.

While the Iran war pushed oil towards $100 a barrel, US energy storage just had its strongest quarter in history. Developers brought 9.7 GWh of new battery storage online so far this year, up 32% year-over-year. The US has now crossed 40 GW of installed storage, with a record 24 GW more planned this year.

🔗 https://www.pandwsolar.com/u-s-energy-storage-sector-hits-record-numbers-in-q1-2026/

Your electric bill may be giving you a headache, yet Ontario just built one of Canada’s biggest batteries to push back.

The Napanee Battery Energy Storage System — 250 MW / 1,000 MWh, a joint venture between Atura Power and Ameresco in Ontario, just switched on. It can power up to 250,000 homes for four hours during peak demand. As war roils global oil markets, locally-sited storage is the clearest hedge a community has: power that can’t be embargoed.

🔗 https://www.energy-storage.news/250mw-1000mwh-ontario-bess-begins-commercial-operations-potential-expansion-ahead/

Screw diesel fumes, am I right? Latin America just hit a number nobody saw coming.

Latin America now has more than 10,000 electric buses in operation, up from under 8,000 a year earlier. For dense cities where buses carry millions daily, it’s quiet proof that clean public transportation isn’t a rich-country luxury.

🔗 https://www.electrive.com/2026/05/28/latin-america-reaches-10000-electric-buses-in-operation/

Disillusioned by politicians slamming climate? A fossil-fuel company completed one of North America’s biggest solar farms.

Canadian energy giant Enbridge brought online the first 400 MW phase of its $1.1 billion Sequoia Solar project in Callahan County, Texas. This is already one of the largest solar farms in the US, and a second 415 MW phase should be completed by year end. The power flows to AT&T, Toyota, and PepsiCo under long-term contracts.

🔗 https://electrek.co/2026/05/27/north-americas-largest-solar-farms-texas-sequoia-enbridge/

Another clean energy positive—the EU’s battery fleet just grew tenfold.

European battery storage capacity hit 77.3 GWh — up from under 8 GWh at the end of 2021, or a 10x increase in 4 years. The EU added a record 27.1 GWh in 2025 alone, a 45% annual jump, with grid-scale batteries now the majority of new installs. France’s largest battery (248 MW / 496 MWh, by Neoen) is about to turn on, as well.

🔗 https://energyindustryreview.com/power/battery-storage-capacity-record-growth-and-trends-in-2026/

Eye-watering utility bills are being addressed by New York—which just put $1 billion back in people’s pockets.

More than 8 million New York households will get one-time energy rebate checks between September and December under the state’s new POWER program. The rebates total $1 billion, with joint filers earning under $150,000 receiving $200.

🔗 https://www.news10.com/capitol/new-york-energy-rebate-program/

The redistricting wars are getting uglier. A federal court just drew a line.

A three-judge federal panel blocked a newly drawn Alabama congressional map, ruling it could not be used in the 2026 elections after finding it diluted Black voters’ representation in violation of the Constitution.

Norma: Mónica Larrazábal

☁️🔋Direct Air Capture, ⚡️Supercapacitors, 🥖Baguettes and more!

Fellow Hope Dealers, welcome to another episode of Hope Dose.

In this episode, we head to Paris to grab a drink with Mónica Larrazábal, Co-Founder and CEO of Norma.

Mónica walks us through Norma’s radically different approach to carbon capture — one that treats direct air capture not as an energy-consuming process, but an energy-storing one. We get into supercapacitors, sandwich-stacked cells, the “winter” in climate funding, and why she believes today is the best moment to invest in carbon removal. Plus: how to carry a baguette like a true Parisian.

👩🏽‍🔬Are you a climate tech startup and want to be highlighted at the event during lightning introductions?!? 👉🏽If so, APPLY HERE!👈🏽

🤳🏽We’ll be in Madrid all week networking, eating, and dosing everyone we meet with hope, so hit us up!

💃🏽And remember, despite all the chaos in the world right now, we’re…not quite f*d.

Last week’s ClimaTech conference in Boston was awesome! Tons of interesting content, great people, and fun. Definitely an injection of hope.

Also, being a panel moderator by day and DJ by night was a blast. Can’t wait to hit the road for…Europe!

Speaking of hope. Here’s your latest injection!

It’s not all bleak out there, hope dealers! Fervo went public. The Iran war is accelerating the adoption of renewables. States are fighting back on voting rights and masked ICE agents. Pancreatic cancer survival time just doubled. Yeah, we’re not quite f*d…

THE IV: May 14th, 2026

💉 The AI data center boom is supposed to break the grid. The first geothermal IPO in history just raised $1.89 billion to power it instead.

Fervo Energy raised $1.89 billion in its IPO on May 13, opened 33% above its offer price, and closed valued above $10 billion. The IPO was the largest US clean energy public offering since 2021.

🔗 Fervo Energy pops 33% in IPO debut fueled by AI data center demand — TechCrunch

💉 A new drug just doubled survival time for the deadliest common cancer.

Revolution Medicines released results on its RAS inhibitor for advanced pancreatic cancer, achieving median overall survival of 13.2 months versus 6.7 months for standard chemotherapy.

🔗 Revolution Medicines Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase 3 RASolute 302 Trial

💉 Renewables are supposed to make electricity more expensive. Australia just got the opposite.

Renewables supplied 46.5% of Australia’s electricity generation in Q1 2026 — a record — while average wholesale prices fell 12% year-on-year. More than 350,000 household batteries are now displacing evening gas use. Gas-fired generation hit its lowest quarterly average since 1999.

🔗 Renewables surge as batteries reshape Australia’s grid — energy.gov.au

💉 The mental health crisis is supposed to be getting worse. A new study says it’s quietly getting better for the people who needed help most.

A JAMA study from Harvard researchers found suicide mortality among Americans aged 15–34 dropped 11% after the 988 Lifeline launched in July 2022 — an estimated 4,400 fewer suicide deaths than projected in the first 2.5 years. States with the largest increase in answered calls saw the biggest reductions, suggesting a dose-response. Overall call volume rose 146% in the highest-uptake states.

If you or someone you know is struggling, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 — call or text 988.

🔗 988 Lifeline launch linked to 11% drop in youth suicide deaths — AJMC

💉 The world’s first nature-inclusive floating wind farm just delivered its first power off the coast of France.

Ocean Winds’ Éoliennes Flottantes du Golfe du Lion project sent its first power to the French grid — a 30 MW floating offshore wind farm built with marine biodiversity protections, including artificial reef structures embedded in turbine anchors. It is the first nature-inclusive floating wind project anywhere in the world. Full commercial operation is targeted later this year.

🔗 Ocean Winds delivers its first power from EFGL — Renewable Energy Magazine

💉 While the world’s energy bills climb because of the war, India just installed solar on a record number of homes in a single month.

India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy announced that 270,000 rooftop solar panels were installed in April 2026 — the highest single-month total ever. The scheme has now crossed 3 million installations, benefiting 4.5 million households. Total national solar capacity hit 150 gigawatts as of March 31 — a 53-fold increase since 2014, with the last 50 GW added in just 15 months.

💉 While the Supreme Court gutted the federal Voting Rights Act, one state just moved to build its own.

The New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee passed a substitute version of the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act, advancing legislation that would create state-level preclearance for voting rule changes. If signed, NJ would become the 10th state with its own voting rights act, joining California, New York, Virginia, Washington, Oregon, Connecticut, Minnesota, Colorado, and Maryland.

🔗 NJ A1715 — John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act

💉 Mexico’s new president just committed to the largest clean energy buildout in Mexican history.

President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her administration will install at least 16,000 MW of renewable energy through private and mixed-investment schemes — a 17% increase in Mexico’s total installed capacity. 5,000 MW was already authorized in December 2025.

🔗 Sheinbaum commits to 16,000 MW in mixed renewables — Mexico Business News

💉 New York just became the first state to ban federal immigration agents from wearing masks.

The New York State budget includes provisions banning ICE officers and other federal immigration agents from wearing face coverings during enforcement actions, reinforcing sensitive-locations protections at schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. The package also strengthens identification requirements for any law enforcement officer conducting an arrest on state property.

🔗 New York State set to ban law enforcement including ICE from wearing masks — Reuters

💉 The fastest country in the developing world to quit coal isn’t where you’d expect.

Chile’s national grid ran on 75.1% solar at midday on March 14 — an all-time instantaneous record — and solar supplied 28.7% of total electricity for the month. The country’s installed power mix is now 69.9% renewable, with 2.5 GW of battery storage operational and another 6.3 GW under construction. The IEA projects Chile will hit 90% renewable electricity by 2030.

The IV

The antidote to negative content

April 20, 2026

Need a dose of hope? We hear ya.

It must be 4/20, because psychedelic therapy was just fast-tracked by the White House. Live music fans got a big win because Live Nation sucks, and now everybody knows it—taylor swift ticket refunds, anyone? Maryland says NO to an ICE facility, and more…

1. After 16 years and billions in hidden fees, a jury just told Ticketmaster: it wasn’t your imagination.

A federal jury in Manhattan found that Live Nation and its Ticketmaster subsidiary operated as an illegal monopoly, harming consumers, artists, and venues. A second trial will now determine remedies — which could include forcing Live Nation to sell concert venues or break up the company entirely.

NPR | Washington Post

2. 29 people have died in ICE custody this year. On Wednesday, a federal court said: not in this warehouse.

The US District Court in Maryland halted ICE’s plan to convert an 825,000-square-foot warehouse near Hagerstown into a 1,500-bed detention facility. ICE had purchased the property for $102 million and awarded a $113 million retrofit contract — while bypassing required environmental reviews and while Washington County’s sewage system was already near capacity. Construction is now paused indefinitely. The system of checks doing what it was built to do.

Maryland Matters | 7News

3. The federal government just invested $50 million in psychedelic mental health research — and it has bipartisan backing.

For the roughly 30% of people with depression or PTSD whose symptoms don’t respond to standard medications, a new federal research pathway just opened. An executive order commits $50 million through ARPA-H to match state investments in psychedelic therapy research. The order also directs the FDA to issue National Priority Vouchers for three breakthrough-designation psychedelics, cutting review timelines from months to weeks. No psychedelic has been approved yet. But the science is now federally funded and fast-tracked.

White House | CBS News

4. The US DOJ is suing states that pass AI laws. States are passing them anyway.

Governors in Oregon, Idaho, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Maine signed AI safety legislation into law — including chatbot disclosure requirements, protections for minors from AI manipulation, and prohibitions on AI impersonating mental health professionals. This comes despite a White House executive order directing the DOJ to challenge “onerous” state AI laws and threatening to condition federal infrastructure funding on compliance. More than 35 states have active AI legislation in 2026. When the federal government stepped back, the states stepped in.

Transparency Coalition | Troutman Privacy + AI

5. AI data centers need baseload clean power. This 1.7-gigawatt geothermal deal just locked it in.

Fervo Energy and Turboden — a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries company — signed a three-year framework to supply turbines for up to 35 of Fervo’s 50 MW “GeoBlock” power plants, totaling 1,750 MW of 24/7 carbon-free power. The companies are currently in the advanced commissioning stage of Phase I at Cape Station in Beaver County, Utah, with startup expected later this year. Once online, it will be the first commercial-scale enhanced geothermal project in the world.

Turboden / Fervo press release

6. Africa just built more solar in three months than it did in all of last year.

Africa commissioned roughly 970 MW of utility-scale solar in Q1 2026 — the highest quarterly addition ever recorded, and more capacity than the entire continent installed in all of 2025. Total installed utility-scale capacity across Africa now stands at 26.15 GW, led by South Africa and Egypt, with strong momentum building in Morocco, Nigeria, Zambia, and Namibia. Africa currently has 133 GW of utility-scale solar in active development. What was promise a decade ago is now delivery at speed.

Green Building Africa

7. Renters can’t put panels on their roofs. So Americans built a 10-gigawatt workaround.

US community solar — shared solar projects that let renters, apartment dwellers, and households with shaded roofs buy into off-site solar — crossed 10 gigawatts of installed capacity in April 2026. Community solar has made clean energy accessible to households that couldn’t otherwise participate in the transition. At current growth rates, the sector is on track to reach 30 GW nationwide by 2030.

Wood Mackenzie / ACP via Tesevo

8. Pennsylvania’s shale gas wells might be about to produce clean power instead.

The US Department of Energy announced a $14 million project to convert a horizontal shale gas well in Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Utica Shale into an enhanced geothermal system — the first EGS demonstration east of the Mississippi. The project will test whether the same drilling technology that extracted gas from the ground can now tap the earth’s heat to make 24/7 carbon-free electricity. If it works, it offers a replicable template for hundreds of similar wells across Appalachia.

The IV will continue to evolve, and recommendations are always appreciated :)

Now go ahead and get some of that hope.

💉IRENA: The World Just Added 692 GW of Non-Fossil Energy — The Largest Annual Surge Ever.

While people freak out over fossil fuel supply, non-fossil energy just had its biggest year ever, and the war should only increase demand.

The world added 692 gigawatts of non-fossil energy in 2025 — the largest annual surge ever recorded — pushing total global clean capacity to 5,000+ GW, according to a report released Tuesday. Solar led the way with 511 GW added, wind followed with 159 GW, and non-fossils accounted for 85.6% of all new electricity capacity built globally last year. IRENA’s Director-General said it best: “Countries that invested in the energy transition are weathering this crisis with less economic damage, as they boost energy security, resilience and competitiveness.”

💉UK Record Wind + Solar: Britain Saved £1 Billion in Gas Imports in a Single Month

Everyone's energy bill is spiking because of the war. Britain just proved there's a way out.

In March 2026, the UK generated record levels of wind and solar electrons — avoiding importing the equivalent of 21 terawatt hours of gas, equivalent to roughly 18 fully loaded LNG tankers. That would have cost around £1 billion at current Iran-war prices. Wind output was up 38% year-on-year for the month. Combined, wind and solar hit 11 terawatt hours in March — a new record. Gas generation fell 25% compared to March 2022, when fossil prices last spiked. “For the first time, we’re bringing deep geothermal power to British homes — a clean, constant energy source right beneath our feet,” Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson said this month. The less fossils feeding the grid, the less the war can touch your bill.

💉India Is Now the World's Third-Largest Solar Producer — Rooftop solar is now powering over 3 Million Homes

The world's most energy-stressed major economy just became its third-largest solar producer.

India officially reached 143.6 GW of installed solar capacity as of February 2026 — making it the world's third-largest solar producer — after installing a record 37.8 GW in 2025 alone. Non-fossil production now exceeds 51% of India's total electricity capacity, a milestone originally targeted for 2030, achieved five years early. The government's rooftop solar program has now reached 3 million households. India's budget allocation for non-fossil energy rose 30% this year. One billion people are outrunning the fossil fuel model.

💉46 Countries — Including Major Oil Producers — Just Confirmed They're Attending a Fossil Fuel Phaseout Summit

While oil prices soar, 46 countries — including oil producers — are meeting this month to plan the end of fossil fuels.

The first-ever international conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels will take place April 28-29 in Santa Marta, Colombia — a major coal export port in the world's fifth-largest coal-producing nation. 46 countries have confirmed attendance, including Brazil, Norway, Mexico, Angola, and Trinidad and Tobago — nations whose economies depend on fossil fuel exports. The conference is hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands and will develop concrete legal, economic, and social pathways for a just transition. The venue sends an intentional signal: fossil-fuel-dependent countries increasingly want a way out, and they're building the roadmap themselves.

💉CFS SPARC Fusion Reactor: 70% Complete and Now Selling Magnets Commercially

The fusion reactor being assembled outside Boston just started generating revenue — from its own magnets.

Commonwealth Fusion Systems announced Thursday it has sold high-temperature superconducting magnets to Realta Fusion — the second commercial deal of its kind and a sign the company is generating near-term revenue while SPARC, its demonstration reactor, nears completion. SPARC is now 70% complete, with all 18 magnets expected to be installed by summer 2026 and first plasma targeted for 2027. The magnets can generate a 20-tesla magnetic field — roughly 13 times stronger than an MRI machine. The running joke that fusion is always 30 years away is no longer holding.

💉Vietnam Scraps Its Largest LNG Plant in Favor of Renewables as Gulf Prices Spike

Vietnam just cancelled its biggest LNG plant. It’s building renewables instead.

Plans for Vietnam’s largest LNG power plant may be scrapped in favor of a new renewable energy project as soaring gas prices tied to the Iran war have worsened the economics of LNG across Southeast Asia. Vietnam has historically been one of Asia’s fastest-growing LNG markets. The reversal signals that the Gulf disruption is actively accelerating the non-fossil transition in places that were previously seen as locked into fossil fuel expansion — not just in wealthy nations.

💉Arizona's Conservative Supreme Court Blocked Three Anti-Voting Lawsuits in One Day

Voting rights are under threat everywhere in the US. Arizona’s own conservative court just said: not here.

Arizona’s conservative-leaning Supreme Court declined to hear a string of appeals from Republican-backed groups that sought to restrict mail-in ballot verification, allow hand-counting of ballots, and weaken early voting rules. By turning the cases away, the court let lower court rulings stand — preserving systems that make voting more accessible and election results more secure. Taken together, the rejections mark a significant legal victory for voting rights in a state that has been at the center of repeated efforts to reshape election rules since 2020.

💉Federal Appeals Court Blocked Push to Gut $4 Billion in Homelessness Funding

The US administration tried to pull $4 billion from homelessness programs. A federal court just said no.

A federal appeals court rejected the US administration's push to impose new conditions on homelessness funding Wednesday, calling implementation of the changes "immediately destabilizing and disastrous." The ruling upheld a lower court's preliminary injunction blocking the Department of Housing and Urban Development's plan to shift nearly $4 billion away from permanent housing toward programs requiring sobriety and mental health conditions. The appeals court noted that the existing Housing First approach — the target of HUD's overhaul — "has proven effective," citing two decades of bipartisan policy evidence. Without this ruling, the change would have risked pushing 170,000 people, including many disabled adults and veterans, back into homelessness.

💉Vermont Signed One of the Country's Strongest AI Safety Bills into Law

While Washington stalls on AI rules, states are building guardrails themselves.

Vermont’s governor just signed AI safety legislation into law, including provisions protecting neurological rights and restricting AI in health and human services — one of the nation’s most comprehensive state AI frameworks to date. Vermont wasn’t alone: Georgia sent three AI safety bills to Governor Brian Kemp this week, including chatbot disclosure requirements and a prohibition on AI-only insurance coverage decisions. Alabama, Iowa, and Utah all advanced AI safety legislation this session. Thirty-two states are now actively legislating AI conduct — a distributed system of democratic guardrails building without waiting for Congress.

💉A Homelessness Prevention Program Cut Unhousing Rates 78% with a $6,500 Average Investment — Now Going National

Homelessness can be prevented — and it costs less than letting it happen.

A homelessness prevention program in Santa Clara County found that a targeted payment averaging $6,500 — for rent, security deposits, and emergency housing expenses — reduced the likelihood of becoming homeless by 78%, compared to similar households that received no help. A CalMatters investigation found the program, run by Destination: Home, has inspired 10 pilot programs launching across the country in the first large-scale, multi-state test of a prevention-first approach.

I know, it’s been a minute.

I’m writing you all today to announce Climate Tech Cocktails is officially transitioning to Hope Dose.

Questions I imagine are on your mind:

• Will there still be events? Yep. Announcements coming soon.

• What about the podcast? Yes. I enjoy capturing (literally and figuratively) founders & CEOs more than anything. First episode is in the can and more scheduled.

• Any new content? Another yes. A newsletter is in the works.

• Investments? 🤫 slowly, but surely.

• Is he being weak and avoiding the word climate like others?

  No. Climate’s still the core, along with badass people working on other meaningful problems. I’ve grown a lot over the past year+, and as I continue to evolve, I want to be able to color outside of the lines.

I downshifted CTC over the past year+ for personal reasons. I burnt out, I decided to invest as much time, energy, and resources as I could into my mental and physical health. It’s been a journey.

I quickly realized I couldn’t evolve into the person I wanted to be while pumping out content. I wouldn’t press play again until I was ready. So here we are. I’m ready. Are you?

I’d like to dedicate this announcement to my father, who turns 70 today. What can you give someone who has everything? Hope.

So why Hope Dose?

It’s been a term circling my mind for 18 months, and it just won’t die. Over the years, I’ve realized ideas I try my mightiest to kill that refuse to perish are keepers.

The world seems pretty f*d right now. I understand. It’s easy to think that way. In fact, our brains are wired to crave shocking and negative content. Hence, why most forms of media capture and maintain our attention by constantly serving us a deluge of negative information.

War. Rape. Murder. Theft. Lies.

We crave the drama.

I’m a contrarian and believe the world isn’t all that bad.

Who knew being positive would be so edgy? I guess you can say I’m punk positive.

I also believe positivity yields productivity. The powers that be want us to accept their toxic version of reality and give up, so let’s be positively productive.

Ultimately, with Hope Dose, I hope you, the audience, can walk away with a spoon full of hope after consuming our content and realize that maybe, just maybe, we’re not quite f*d, after all.

Welcome to Hope Dose, the next episode.

Warmly,

Matt

ICYMI, we did an awesome “back to the basics” Climate Tech Cocktails happy hour in Paris in collaboration with Marble and Wind Capital last week.

We had a room full of not only Parisians, but also badasses who came from other cities just for the event—including Milan, London, and Amsterdam—I know I’m missing others.

You could feel the excitement in the air. Yes, even though governments are failing and speaking untruths about climate change, climate warriors all over the world remain committed to building and scaling solutions—which is why we’ve opted to focus our time and attention on building more bridges in the EU and Canada.

Yes, and the reason why we’re taking a break from NYCW2025. We’re busy expanding the CTC international community and planning for 2026—which is gearing up to be a year of epic proportions for the climate tech movement.

That being said, there are so many awesome events happening at NYCW2025—plug in! Don’t know where to begin? Start with CTVC i.e. Sightline’s event calendar.

As you do network at NYCW—keep in mind that the answer isn’t nationalism, but globalism. Yes, while each city/state/country needs to focus on GDP generation and job creation—capital, talent, partnerships, and knowledge crossing borders is the only way we’re going to solve the climate challenge. Innovation takes collaboration, not isolation. We at CTC want to continue doing our part.

Including…a happy hour in London tomorrow night, building coalitions at The Drop in Malmo, strategy dinners in Berlin, and supporting the first ever Toronto Climate Week.

Oh, and want more dashes of optimism? In the last month alone, CTC portfolio companies Copper closed a Series A funding round led by Prelude Ventures, it’s electric revealed that one of its key cities is now seeing 44% utilization of its curbside EV chargers, and Lightship has officially begun shipping its AE.1 Cosmos.

Climate tech is far from dead, folks.

Keep on keepin’ on.

And, as always, be a circle, not a square.

Warmly,

CTC

p.s. while on a stroll in St. James’s park, a pigeon randomly landed on my shoulder and hung out for a minute. Is this a positive sign for animals and climate?

“…and this is only 50…" I think to myself, glutes burning. Holy sh*t. I can’t believe I was walking around with an extra 100 pounds.

The final 25 have been slower despite stretching my fasting and exercise routines to their limits. I can’t wait to eat tonight…marking the completion of another five day fast, preceded by a 48 hour and an additional five day…which were preceded by a 72 hour…so on, so forth. All while walking 6 miles/day, running 8-10 miles/day, sculpt yoga three times/week and two Barry’s sessions/week.

While physically exhausting, the true test is mental. Although my body’s gotten used to fasting at this point, it doesn’t mean I don’t get hungry. “Hunger means loss,” has become my mantra. This is when the real work happens—flatline or win.

I push through. Puncturing fresh cherry tomatoes with my teeth, juice splashing against my cheeks, I can literally sense the vitamin c seeping into my skin, replenishing me. Only four more days and three more pounds. It’s as good as done. Tears fill my eyes.

Losing weight is losing comfort. Shedding lies. I didn’t become obese because I love food—the fat masked the pain from my child/young adulthood. *Overcoming what I can’t discuss here*, I layered on fat for safety and overworked to avoid. Facing the truth, slaying demons, I’m free. What will I become?

The now familiar jabbing of an ink-covered needle draws the number 100 beneath where steel shackles once held me down. My friend Ryan opens the shop door, wandering into Two Cranes dictating his first tattoo observation—noticeably squirming while capturing video of me smiling and joking with Rubberband Dan. “Is that blood?” Ryan’s freaked out. “No, but there will be blood.” Dan chuckles at my movie reference.

Taking a deep breath, I pause to capture the moment. Surrounded by friends—some old and some new—heavy Italian plates pass around a table too small for us. The right kind of cozy.

I blow out candles on a red velvet cake. My favorite. Delirious, I smile and celebrate. I understand life’s a collection of moments—the older I get, the more valuable they become. I embrace this one. I wouldn’t trade seats with anybody.

It’s hard to believe I lost 100lbs, but I did. I added years onto my life, a life filled with potential. If I can fill a 3,000 personal venue to capacity, if I can lose 100 pounds, if I can do a mental 180, what else am I capable of?

Humans can accomplish anything. We just gotta put our minds to it and grit.

Be a circle, not a square.

-Matt
