This week, we're doing something a bit different outside of our typical interview format. This is a recap of New York Climate Week. I'll share some of my impressions and you'll hear from folks like Vice President Al Gore, California Senator Henry Stern, several friends, and fellow climate travelers. You'll hear some segments from sessions I attended and sometimes it might sound like you're actually there in a room full of people. If you hear an occasional cough or something, try to just think of it as getting closer to the experience of being there without any risk of coming home with COVID.Over 75,000 people kicked off the week by taking to the streets for the Climate March on September 17th. Over the ensuing week, thousands of people from around the world joined over 585 official Climate Week sessions and likely as many unofficial ones. I kicked off the week in a somewhat surreal way. I work for a company called NationSwell. We're an executive membership network and advisory that helps sustainability and other leaders take on bigger bets and be more successful. We were invited to bring some NationSwell members like Michael Komori, Chief Sustainability Officer of Starbucks, and joined Al Gore and other climate leaders in ringing the NASDAQ bell on Monday morning – which felt like a fitting start, as a question on everyone's minds is: “If capitalism is up for the challenge, will corporations lead the transformation needed to cut emissions?”In today's episode, we're hearing from:[1:34] Adam Lake, Climate Week NYC Lead of the Climate Group[2:34] Bonnie Gurry, Co-Founder of GreenPortfolio[5:15] Alex Wright Gladstein, Founder of Sphere[6:48] Nyla Mabro, New York Chapter of New Energy Nexus[7:18] Tom Chi, Founder of At One Ventures[8:54] Kirsten Snow Spalding, VP of the Investor Network at Ceres[10:45] Former US Vice President Al Gore[19:29] VP Al Gore on Climate TRACE[12:59] VP Al Gore on the state of climate progress[20:56] Katie Rae, CEO & Manager Partner of The Engine[22:51] Jeff Johnson, Managing Partner of Temasek[24:03] Clay Dumas, Founding Partner of Lowercarbon Capital[25:44] Clay Dumas on the unique opportunity for climate founders today[27:06] Ian Samuels, Founder & Managing Partner of New System Ventures[28:09] Colin le Duc, Founding Partner of Generation Investment Management[33:43] Dr. Vanessa Chan, Chief Commercialization Officer for the US Department of Energy and Director of the

In this episode, Silas Mahner (@silasmahner) speaks with Tee Ganbold, the Co-Founder of OpenESG on what she's doing in the ESG tech space. They have created an incredible tool that operates like ChatGPT but is specifically designed and trained on corporate sustainability data. Instead of spending time researching a company's ESG data and commitments, you can simply ask OpenESG and you have detailed data at your fingertips, along the precise references to the underlying data. Tee has a great story coming from Mongolia, being raised in London, starting a few companies, living around the world, and now choosing to build OpenESG in NYC. We had a really great conversation so it's exciting to share it with you here today. Enjoy the Episode!

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight antisemitism and all forms of hate. In the fight against antisemitism, the corporate boardroom has become a battleground as investors sometimes engage in antisemitism and delegitimization of the Jewish state under the guise being “socially responsible.” JLENS was founded in 2012 to counter this issue and has only become more important as socially responsible investing has grown. Recently, JLENS became a part of ADL. Jake Herman is the Director of Network Development for JLens, and he joined this show to discuss the work of JLens and its merger with ADL.

In der Mittagsfolge sprechen wir heute mit Jörg Sellmann, Geschäftsführer und Gesellschafter von Demecan, über die erfolgreich abgeschlossene Finanzierungsrunde, wodurch das Startup im Jahr 2022 ein Kapital in Gesamthöhe von 15 Millionen Euro eingesammelt hat.Demecan vertreibt hochwertiges Medizinal-Cannabis auf dem deutschen Markt. Dabei deckt das Startup die gesamte Produktionskette vom Anbau über die Weiterverarbeitung bis zur Distribution an Apotheken ab. So sollen Patientinnen und Patienten die Möglichkeit bekommen, den gesicherten Zugang zu medizinischem Cannabis zu erhalten, das zu 100% in Deutschland hergestellt wurde. Die Betriebsstätte in Dresden ist die größte Indoor-Produktionsanlage Europas für Cannabis und arbeitet nach höchsten pharmazeutischen Standards und importiert zudem auch weltweit medizinisches Cannabis, welches nach eigenen Angaben den eigenen Qualitätsstandards entspricht. Demecan wurde im Jahr 2017 von Dr. Adrian Fischer, Dr. Cornelius Maurer und Dr. Constantin von der Groeben in Berlin gegründet. Bereits im April konnte das Cannabis-Startup rund die Hälfte der vom Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte pro Jahr beauftragten Menge an medizinischem Cannabis produzieren und liefern. Die Demecan-Gruppe ist Mitglied im Bundesverband der pharmazeutischen Cannabinoid-Unternehmen und Fördermitglied im Verband der Cannabis beliefernden Apotheken.Nun hat das Startup eine weitere Finanzierungsrunde abgeschlossen und damit im Jahr 2022 ein Kapital in Gesamthöhe von 15 Millionen Euro eingesammelt, welches sich durch Fremd- und Eigenkapitalfinanzierung zusammensetzt. Die mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft Sachsen und der auf Cannabis Investments fokussierte schwedische Venture Capital Fonds Enexis haben sich u.a. als neue Investoren an der Runde beteiligt. Die Bestandsgesellschafter wie beispielsweise die in Frankfurt ansässigen Fonds Futury Growth und Futury Venture sowie das private Investor-Network von btov haben ebenfalls erneut die Finanzierung unterstützt. Mit dem frischen Kapital soll die Produktionsstätte weiter ausgebaut und die Expansion weiter vorangeschritten werden.

This episode features a conversation with Emily McMahan ‘01, Co-founder and General Partner of Academy Investor Network, a seed-stage focused venture fund which invests in dual-use technology and military veteran-led startups. She has a passion for working with startups and connecting people, technologies, and companies solving tough national security, civic, and social challenges for good.Before founding AIN, Emily was a startup founder. She led a military veteran-focused incubator, Capitol Post, which advised hundreds of startups to leverage the region's strong business and startup community. Emily holds an MBA from the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business and a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Military Academy at West Point. After graduating from West Point two months before 9/11, she was commissioned as a U.S. Army military police officer and deployed in support of Operations Enduring Freedom, Iraqi Freedom, and Noble Eagle.In this episode of On Point, Emily talks about her experiences at West Point and in the military, and how they impacted her professional work and focus after transitioning into civilian life. She discusses the successful path she followed in her post-military career in entrepreneurship and being a venture capitalist. Emily also emphasizes the importance of creating a space where service academy graduates and the entrepreneurial community can deeply connect, listen, learn, and ultimately support each other.-------------“I think you have to know yourself when you're transitioning to know who you are and what you like. And, I hope that all the work we've done up until that point prepares us for that. So knowing yourself and who you are is really important because you have to be careful that you don't choose something based off of other people's expectations of what you should do. I see a lot of folks that are transitioning often that sort of have this expectation of what they're supposed to do. You have to know yourself and kind of go through that process.” - Emily McMahan ‘01-------------Episode Timestamps(02:18) Segment: AAR - Emily's decision to attend West Point(04:35) Cadet type(05:19) Walking hours(05:56) Classes and studies(06:39) Mentors at the academy(08:20) Choosing a branch(10:58) First OBC assignment(11:21) Emily's military career(13:50) Segment: Sit Rep - Emily's civilian career(16:01) Starting Capitol Post(16:55) Merging Capitol Post with Bunker Labs(17:45) Co-founding the Academy Investor Network(23:41) Leveraging and investing in opportunities at the network(31:00) West Point Entrepreneurship Summit(34:10) Lessons from volleyball at West Point(36:33) Segment: SOP - Routines for success(40:34) Day-to-day in venture investing(42:39) Mentorship(48:22) Segment: Giving Back-------------LinksEmily McMahan's LinkedInAcademy Investor NetworkWest Point Association of GraduatesOn Point Podcast

In this series called Vet to Venture, Wayne Moore, Managing Partner at Alumni Ventures Basecamp Fund, talks with veterans about their unique path in the military to a career in venture and technology. In this episode, Wayne and Sherman Williams, Managing Partner of the Academy Investor Network, a virtual platform created for U.S. Service Academy Graduates to invest in venture-backed startups in two areas of investment focus: dual-use technology startups and the veteran-led startups.

From his service as a Naval Intelligence Officer to an MBA from the University of Chicago to becoming an investor in early-stage startups in healthcare tech, frontier tech, logistics, and marketplaces, Sherman Williams has had an interesting career. Now he's also helping other U.S. Service Academy (USNA, USMA, USAFA, USCGA and USMMA) grads to invest as well. Many veterans want to get into entrepreneurship, but don't know how to access a network to help them learn and grow. The Academy Investor Network invests in veteran-led startups (as well as civilian-led startups) that focus on “dual-use technology,” or tech that has both commercial and government purposes. Or as Sherman puts it, “technologies that help make our country safer, operate more efficiently, and have a strong commercial use case.”Listen for Sherman's take on how technologies like this can have both civilian and military use cases, and how veterans can thrive in entrepreneurship. Oh, and definitely listen for David and Sherman's brief but delightful discussion of reggae. Follow Sherman Williams on Twitter @vc_sherman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink made waves in the ESG world last month by pushing companies to plan for a net-zero emissions future. His annual letter also committed to taking more concrete steps within BlackRock to enable the decarbonization transition. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we dive into BlackRock’s own net-zero strategy. We talk to experts about what it means and how much further the world’s largest asset manager still needs to go. Fink has acknowledged that BlackRock has a carbon-intensive portfolio and is moving to change that. We'll hear from Kirsten Spalding, who leads the Investor Network at the sustainability-focused group Ceres. And we’ll also hear from Moira Birss, who is Climate & Finance Director at Amazon Watch. Her group is part of a network of NGOs and finance advocates that are pressing asset managers like BlackRock to align their business practices with a climate-safe world. Photo credit: Getty Images

When what might’ve seemed like a good deal suddenly looks like a terrible deal, how do you renegotiate to regain your advantage? Chris Arnold, one of our coaching students, found himself stuck on a recent deal when the condition of the house told a different story after he’d already agreed on a price.If you’ve given yourself enough breathing room to account for a change in the condition of a home, then negotiating a more fair price isn’t too hard. But what if you just can’t agree to meet in the middle? And what if your seller is bulldozing your best efforts? I talk with Chris about how to start from a position of strength.When you have to reconsider because of one of the 3 Rs, resale value, repairs, and rents, it’s important for you to come to the table with solid numbers. And if you get into a heated disagreement over the price, relying on the numbers can protect your reputation as well.Listen carefully to how Chris and I break down where the negotiations could’ve gone bad, and my tips for how he could do better next time. It can be easy to get carried away in the back and forth of a conversation, especially when there’s a lot of money on the line. But you really want to protect your relationships while also protecting your profits. You’re running a business after all.Practicing with a coach can help you smooth out the edges of your negotiating techniques. I hope listening to this exchange helps you see how you can renegotiate so that you keep your cool while maximizing your profits. If you’re interested in working with me, get in touch through the REI Network website.What's Inside:What's Inside:—One of the best negotiating techniques that will help you reset the energy in the conversation.—I roleplay with Chris, one of my coaching clients, about a recent deal that almost fell through.—By building rapport, you can walk away from a deal without burning a bridge.—The number one, most important tip I have for you today.

“When you think about discrimination, so far it has been from one person to another, the danger of AI is that it scales this up. AI solutions have such an important impact on our societies, perhaps they need be approved. Maybe we can learn something from the medical world where medicine has to be approved before it can be launched.” This is a conversation with Susanne Chishti. Susanne is the CEO of FINTECH Circle, Europe's first Investor Network focused on fintech investments. She is also the Co-Editor of "The FINTECH Book" which has been translated into 10 languages. Her other titles, compiled with crowd wisdom include The WealthTECH Book, The InsurTECH Book, The PAYTECH Book, The LEGALTECH Book and The AI Book. In this episode, Susanne talks about how AI could scale up discriminatory decision making in FinTech and beyond, how AI is so powerful, impactful and unexplainable that it may need medical level approval. She also tells the story of crowd sourcing the authors for the AI Book which was published in 2020 by Wiley and features a chapter by yours truly about AI and our financial future.

Impact investment will be huge, but not necessarily good, says Transform Finance co-founder and Board Chair Morgan Simon, who is passionate about using money to create social justice. Investors controlling $550 million have signed on to her program, she says. “Microfinance leading to huge debt cycles. Wind farms causing land grabs,” are signs of the problem, she says. “ Impact investment is seen as a panacea to the challenges of aid and philanthropy, yet its promise is often unrealized, lacking engagement with and accountability to the people it is intended to serve, at times even harming its intended beneficiaries. Expected to eclipse aid by 10x with over $500B, the field needs principled course-correction to maximize its transformative potential for hundreds of millions of people.” Transform Finance offers three programs designed to help impact investors course-correct: 1. Converting impact investors into social justice advocates: We help investors (family offices, foundations etc.) managing $556 million integrate the TF approach through our Investor Network launched at the White House in 2014. We co-develop tools to deepen impact and ensure accountability, stronger, more relevant metrics, and shared-benefit deal structures. 2. Working with accelerators worldwide to empower entrepreneurs to maximize community benefit: we “train the trainers” to ensure community accountability and shared ownership as common practice. 3. Helping social justice leaders leverage the power of finance: to keep investments accountable as they flow into their communities, and to generate their own revenue-building activity. Our initial trainings of 65 leaders in U.S. serving over 5 million individuals are being replicated from Mexico to Haiti as the only of this kind. Simon has a clear vision to go along with her passion for impact investing done according by her standard. “Transform Finance creates a world where impact investment lives up to its transformative potential. Our multi-stakeholder work ensures that investors deploy capital in the real interest of communities, and that communities can take advantage of finance as a critical tool for social change.” Please consider whether a friend or colleague might benefit from this piece and, if so, share it.
