(Get it here: https://tally.so/r/wodXoP )


So far we're onto something.

Our last Climate Drift Career Accelerator cohort received a Net Promotor Score (NPS) of 75 and 4.7/5 star rating from senior professionals who are notoriously hard to impress.

Plus we’re getting reviews like this: 😍

1️⃣ “This is truly like no cohort out there! (I've done a few). The intimate community setting and amazing, intelligent speakers are unmatched.”

2️⃣ “I’ve already gotten tremendous value out of the course; specifically the action-oriented nature of the course (learning + doing, not just learning) and the orientation towards landing a career in climate and HOW to do it”

3️⃣ ”I learned SO MUCH and feel 10x more equipped for my climate career goals than before.”

4️⃣ “10 out of 10: The content is in-depth and interesting, and gives the cohort opportunities to get involved by tackling challenges hands on (which in my opinion, is the best way to learn!)


We do all of this in partnership with World-class Climate VCs and Climate Tech Companies 🙏

Product Manager for UX

Jana

It's a start-up and we wear many fancy hats around here. My favorite hat is Product Management.

Creating new products for our B2B platform means starting with use cases, sketching wire frames and writing detailed product specifications. Every product feature we build, I test myself and communicate consistently with engineering to deliver scalable solutions.

When I don't work on our core research product I optimize landing pages, test lead generation strategies through case studies and run global research projects for our Fortune 500 clients.

I also instituted a weekly ice-cream budget which benefits... well, mostly me!

Product Manager

“**Daddy, what have you done to keep Mother Earth healthy?**”  👉 Having a good answer for my kids when this Q hits is my personal North Star.

Over the last decade, I bootstrapped my technical education company to be the market leader (60+ NPS), helped 1,000s of people transition careers, sold the first $2M in revenue by myself, got acquired by the fastest growing EdTech company in the US, and scaled the entire online offering to 8-figures ARR in year 1, leading to a $750M acquisition. 

And learning an unbelievable amount of company-building skills (12 to 500 to 4,000 people).

Today, I use all this experience for my next chapter: 

Transitioning 1M people into the Climate Economy. 

My portfolio:
> I’m on the board of 3 high-impact organizations in climate and education. 
> I mentor impact entrepreneurs through the Edmund Hillary Fellowship.
> I built one 6-figure, one 7-figure, and one 8-figure business.

Marco Morawec

I love being a solo dad.

It’s like the ultimate job in squeezing every bit of juice out of every minute all day long. 

If you have a moment between meetings you fold laundry

Then you think dinner

Juggle school pick up schedules

All the other shit

Then you fall into bed at 11pm feeling full of joy that you’ve 100% optimized another day. 

And before you celebrate me as a solo dad. 

Who will sustain that for exactly 10 days before his wife comes back. 

Make sure you celebrate all the single moms out there who are doing this insane efficiency gains sport. 

All day. Every day. Zero breaks. For years. 

All of them run circles around your “most efficient and productive guy at work”. 

Just throw your bias over board and give them an opportunity during the next interview phase. 

You have no idea what force is going to hit you. 

Sorry, just had to get this off my chest. 

And if you’re an air traffic controller, pls for the love of god, make sure my wife’s flight isn’t delayed or canceled. I REALY need her back 😬😂

Up-skilling 1M people into climate | Founder | Last exit at $750M | I break down climate solutions so 5th graders understand them

Story from the frontlines of climate investing 👇

At Climate Drift we see “behind the scenes” intel inside our community -- a lot.

Here’s the context:

1️⃣ Investor - with dozens of early stage deals, founding CTO several times - asks:

❓Can you help with feedback on a potential battery investment opportunity❓


2️⃣ Another member - many years in batteries and energy markets - hears about the ask.

Sends back 10 questions they’d ask the founding team before investing.



I saw those 10 questions and felt like: "I’m in first grade again!” 🤯

Investor had the same reaction and replied: 

“WTF! I want to hire this person to be on the call with founders?”


What’s my take on this and why am I sharing this❓

I want everyone who thinks “I can do this climate thing on my own”.

To understand that the only person they’re kidding is themselves.


The smartest people don’t walk this “scaling climate solutions” journey alone.

As a founder, Investor, Operator, or transitioner…

They all learn from each other, help where leveraged impact will be the largest…and most importantly:

Speed up this entire game to win a few more decades of time.

Whatever you decide, we’re building this support at Climate Drift for you:

- Community to get honest feedback - like above - from pros who know there sh*t
- Accelerator to get into the sector where you bring impact
- Open + Honest LIVE Sessions with "frontliners"
- FREE “find your climate niche” course
- 100+ Technical Deep dives

Let’s go 🙌

Just read this first sentence.

Opened the window. 

And let the birds sing their songs to me. 

David, once again, you are so very right.
