💸 Startup News

Typically, we have a theme for 3 of the best and most interesting startups, scale-ups or investment round updates that will deliver impact.

Recent themes have included - methane, weather data, water, energy storage, or I might include a group of innovators from a region or country. If there is a theme that is requested by a subscriber I am happy to explore further or include innovations in response to changing world events.

Recently, I included a review of some great innovations to help combat wildfires.

🔎 Deeper Dive

🏡 Konfab News

A quick check-in on what else is going on at HQ. It might be news on projects, collaborations, or interviews and guest articles that are coming soon.

😃 Good Stuff

There is a weight of negativity around climate change's impact on people and the planet, the back and forth of policy, and the battle to reduce fossil fuel emissions. It can be quite daunting and quite frankly, depressing.

You can seek refuge in this section - some feel-good news, progress, light relief and hopefully something to make you smile.

The world-famous Pylon of the Month ⚡ segment resides here as well.
