Happy to share I’ve joined the faculty at @yalesom.bsky.social to teach climate tech innovation and entrepreneurship!

Designing the course has been a dream. It’s the class I wish I had taken before becoming a climate tech entrepreneur.

Excited to train students to work in this dynamic industry.

Happy Thanksgiving, happy hunting season, and happy that trees remind us to glamorize letting go.
