In episode 143, Gerard, Laurent and Michael have discussed the philosophy of Bill Gates when it comes to the Energy Transition, and the root causes of his flawed thesis. Let see now if this transpires in his main investment vehicle, Breakthrough Energy Ventures (BEV).Michael Barnard is quite blunt: “To be clear, Gates is still highly resistant to the reality that we have almost all of the solutions we require, and that Breakthrough Energy Ventures is mostly invested in distractions.” As we are about to celebrate the 10th anniversary of BEV, we dive into its successes and failures. And it is a complex picture. BEV has invested in more than 100 companies which is a feat in itself.  For a 3.5bnUSD portfolio, that's an average of 40mUSD/ticket.When you dig into the portfolio, you will get the Good, with promising ventures (such as Antora, Rondo, Boston Metals, Brimstone, TS Conductor, Fervo, Natel, Pachama, Kobold), the bad with ginormous boondoggles (nuclear, carbon, Hydrogen planes, LDES…), and the Ugly, when BEV (but they are not alone) manage to offload failed ventures via SPACs (Heliogen, QuantumScape, ESS)  or Public Money (Carbon Engineering).  So, Breakthrough or Break down? Glass half full or half empty?  A lot of Silicon Valley billionaires have emulated BEV, with absurd amount of money chasing impossible or totally uneconomic ventures. To name a few, Sam Altman, Khosla Ventures, Patrick Collinson (CEO Stripe) Bezos, Benioff. So, Bill is definitely not alone. And BEV, with a string of smart choices, is probably the least bad, or best of them all.  Michael Barnard unleashed in Cleantechnica https://cleantechnica.com/2024/07/04/breakthrough-energy-ventures-has-bad-investment-theses-therefore-bad-investments/

Our guests today are, Diego Saez-Gil of Pachama and Sam Gill of Sylvera, and we're talking about forestry carbon offsets.Forestry carbon offsets were designed as a financial tool to provide an economic incentive for landowners to make alternative decisions, to pay landowners to keep their forests intact in the case of deforestation avoidance credits or to reforest previously damaged land in the case of reforestation credits. The money for this economic incentive comes from large actors who can then take "credit" for their action and apply it against the carbon footprint of their own organization. This is a carbon offset. In the simplest terms, if part of a company cannot decarbonize quickly, but still aims to achieve net-zero emissions, they can pay a forest landowner to preserve their forest and take an agreed upon amount of carbon off their balance sheet accordingly. And it's a relatively new thing. Forestry carbon offsets have become a popular product over the last decade, and like any maturing industry, it has challenges.Diego and Sam are here to walk us through why forests matter, the history of offsets and how they work, some of the challenges highlighted recently, and what they think the path forward looks like. Regardless of what you think of carbon offsets, this is a crucial problem to solve. Without an economic incentive to maintain and regrow the world's forests, any thought of avoiding the worst effects of climate change is out the window. In this episode, we cover: Diego's background and intro to PachamaSam's experience and an overview of SylveraForests in the world today and why they matter for climateRisk of deforestation and the Amazon becoming a self-reinforcing negative feedback loopHow the story of biodiversity has changed from a forestry perspectiveEconomic levers at play with regard to forests, including reforestation and afforestationThe link between forest credits, offsets, and carbon marketsProblems associated with deforestation credits and managing illegal activityThe voluntary market for deforestation credits, who's buying and whyHow deforestation credits are measured now and historicallyMeasuring reforestation and afforestation projectsDiego and Sam's thoughts on a recent article in The Guardian claiming that most forest carbon offsets are worthlessHow Sylvera assesses forest projects and its reaction to The Guardian articlePachama's approach to creating synthetic baselines and validating the uncertainty of predictionsOvercoming challenges through collaborationPredictions for the future of forest carbon marketsGet connected: Cody Simms Twitter / LinkedInDiego Twitter / LinkedInSam Twitter / LinkedIn  MCJ Podcast / Collective*You can also reach us via email at info@mcjcollective.com, where we encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded on January 31, 2023

He founded Pachama—an incredible company that focuses on leveraging data, artificial intelligence, and automation to protect ecosystems, restore forests, and improve carbon markets. From Pachama's website: “Our co-founder Diego grew up in northern Argentina, at the tip of the diverse rainforest covering most of South America. After a decade of building technology companies abroad, Diego returned to his roots and traveled to the Amazon rainforest. There he saw how much was cleared to deforestation. There he realized the potential of forests to solve climate change. Diego moved to California and joined forces with Tomas, a fellow Argentinian and a machine learning engineer, who was thinking deeply about the role technology could play in protecting and restoring Spaceship Earth.

@dsaezgil En mi casa hubo mucho estímulo hacia la ciencia. Fui a una escuela técnica donde estudié electromecánica, y eso hizo que me enamore de la tecnología. En la escuela técnica hice mi primer emprendimiento: diseñar una planta de reciclaje. Estudié Administración de Empresas en la UNT. De Tucumán me fui a Barcelona a hacer un máster. Por un error de cálculo en cuanto a los gastos, durante un mes tuve que vivir con €2 comiendo arroz y fideos. --- Después me fui a NY a hacer una pasantía. En el hostel donde estaba quedándome en Brooklyn conocí a la persona con la que hice WeHostels. Durante varios años trabajé de mozo en un restaurante de SoHo. A través de Twitter conocí a @lucaslain, charlamos y arrancamos WeHostels. Los primeros inversores que confiaron en nosotros fueron @fabricegrinday@alejandrito. Se nos acercaron de Student Universe proponiéndonos trabajar juntos: ellos no tenían app mobile ni estaban enfocados en hostels, así que les vendimos la empresa, más que nada porque nos estábamos poniendo algo nerviosos por la competencia que estaba surgiendo. --- En un viaje a Argentina perdí el equipaje y, como siempre me gustó la electrónica, me pareció fascinante la idea de hacer algo de IoT con una valija. Ahí conocí a @tomipierucci y la hicimos juntos. Nos instalamos un tiempo en Hong Kong y le encontramos la vuelta. Fueron meses de cranear, con dibujos y papeles en las paredes. Un proceso muy divertido de design thinking y brainstorming. Ahí nació el primer concepto de la Bluesmart. Lanzamos una campaña en Indiegogo que terminó levantando ~U$3MM. El video de Bluesmart lo filmamos en la terminal de Buquebus haciendo como si fuese JFK. Es un video muy gracioso. Estando en China me di cuenta de la enorme polución existente en el mundo. Las aerolíneas de un día para el otro decidieron no permitir baterías de litio. Teníamos una orden de 50 mil valijas con baterías de litio no removibles y no pudimos frenar la producción. Tuvimos que vender la empresa. --- Quedamos bastante burned-out después de toda esta situación, así que me tomé un tiempo antes de volver a emprender. Hice un viaje al Amazonas donde vi de primera mano la deforestación y me rompió el corazón. Ahí reconecté con mi lado ambientalista. Investigué el mundo de los créditos de carbono y me di cuenta de que es un mercado que todavía no había recibido nada de innovación tecnológica. Así se me ocurrió la idea de @PachamaInc Post que escribió @dsaezgil cuando se le quemó su casa: https://medium.com/@dsaezgil/on-losing-everything-to-the-climate-crisis-except-for-hope-21df87ef8c07El A la semana de que se me quema la casa me llega un term sheet de @amazon donde se meten en la ronda.

I'm KrissieRich Bunker  0:11  I'm Rich, and we're your hosts. This podcast is an extension of the MindfulCommerce Community. Krissie Leyland  0:18  The MindfulCommerce Community is a safe place for ecommerce brands and experts to connect, collaborate and explore opportunities to work together to unleash the power of ecommerce as a force for good.Rich Bunker  0:30  You can join by going to mindfulcommerce.io, and clicking "community". See you there. Krissie Leyland  0:35  Hello, everyone. Today, we'll be speaking to Casey, who is the CMO of Shipbob. We will be discussing when if ever is the right time to outsource warehousing and fulfillment for your ecommerce brand. So welcome Casey, it's really great to have you on here. I've wanted to for ages because you are one of our very first community supporters. So thank you so much for that. Would you like to just introduce yourself and tell me a bit about shipbob? And why Shipbob exists? Casey Armstrong  1:09  Yes. Well, thank you very much for having me. You know, we're very happy to be part of the MindfulCommerce Community. We take the carbon neutrality and everything very seriously over here at Shipbob, which I know we're gonna dive into. We are a global fulfillment platform. We serve and are partnered with over 5000 brands. We ship millions of items every single month. We actually are up to almost 25 fulfillment centers, including one in the UK, one in Canada, one in Ireland, one in Australia, which we just announced last week, and about 20 in the US. So, I'm very happy to be here.Krissie Leyland  1:51  Wow, that's amazing. That's a lot. I was actually gonna ask you how many fulfillment centers you have but you just answered that question. It's great that you've got one in the UK. So in your opinion, when is the right time for brands to outsource their warehousing and fulfillment to companies such as Shipbob?Casey Armstrong  2:13  There's no hard answer where it's like, "once you're doing 100 orders a month." I think it's when you start seeing that the time it takes you to fulfill,and ship items starts to impact the time that you have to focus on sales, marketing, community development & product development, because that's what's actually going to drive your business. I know a lot of entrepreneurs are kind of hesitant to like hand things over. Unless logistics and operations is your differentiator from your competition... I think it behooves a lot of founders to hand that off sooner than not so they can focus on the right things, logistics, and fulfillments, very time intensive, which is often your most valuable asset. If you're staying up till eight o'clock at night, midnight, 2am, during peak season to pick and pack boxes, it's probably not the best use of your time. Krissie Leyland  3:18  There are brands doing that. Casey Armstrong  3:20  Oh, we hear that all the time. It's honestly the catalyst for [almost all of our customers] to reach out to and start working with us rather quickly. They start seeing the time that they're spending on it. Sometimes, even worse is subconsciously, they're purposely thwarting their own growth: "I want to double my sales. I want to double my business but that means I'm gonna have to ship twice as many items. I don't want to stay up for an extra two hours or four hours every single day to pick and pack boxes." Then if you're gonna start hiring people, why wouldn't you hire more people maybe for marketing or product development, or somebody to help on the entire supply chain versus just packing boxes? So it's something that we hear rather often.Krissie Leyland  4:14  Yeah. I mean, that's definitely not why they would have started their business. The first thing that came to my head then was like thinking of when they reach that specific moment, they might also be thinking about internationalization. So do you help brands with going global, because you have these big fulfillment centers around the world and what does that look like?Casey Armstrong  4:41  We don't handle the freight, per se, but we have partners that can help with that (with duties, taxes and everything like that). We can also ship globally, just from the United States. Something that we do with the majority of our customers, is we do what's called a "time in transit analysis". We'll help you understand what is the best and most effective way to distribute your inventory, whether that be just in the United States or whether that be globally. It's all based off of your historical data on where your customers are purchasing from. We definitely help with that. Then within Shipbob as well, there's our analytics reporting tool which updates in real time. There you can start toggling on and off different fulfillment centers to start seeing what type of cost and time saving you'd actually have by you know, let's say distributing some of your inventory overseas.Krissie Leyland  5:32  I'm also thinking of, if they do see... for example, if they're in the US, but a lot of their customers are in Europe. It might make sense to have a fulfillment center in Europe. It might be about cost, but if you're shipping at a less of a distance, then it's probably better in terms of your emissions and your carbon footprint.Casey Armstrong  6:02  Yes, it's much better for the environment. Then also, sometimes there's marketing arbitrage opportunities overseas, where maybe that type of product, or just in general, some of the customer acquisition costs might be lower. You might say, "Well, I don't have a lot of sales in this region" but maybe that's because you're focusing all of your paid efforts in the United States, but there could be opportunities in the UK, across Europe, or somewhere like Australia. So obviously, once your inventory is there, there's less impact on the environment. It's also faster and more inexpensive. Sometimes you can even test it by marketing in those regions, before you start to distribute inventory. Just to see what type of opportunities are there, both from a demand side, but also the costs. Krissie Leyland  6:51  Definitely. On the subject of cost... it might be a good question to ask: On average, how much are brands spending with Shipbob in terms of just handing over their fulfillment to you?Casey Armstrong  7:09  There isn't a hard dollar number or pound, but what I'll give is a percentage. At Shipbob, we do the receiving, we store your inventory and then we do all of the fulfillment. So, the pick pack, the packaging & the actual shipping label. What we typically see is that it often ranges between about 8-15% of your of your total sales goes towards again, all things included within fulfillment, including the shipping label. Krissie Leyland  7:47  Awesome. That's not that's not too bad. I was expecting more to be honest. Casey Armstrong  7:51  It can go up at times. Again, it depends on how efficient brands are with their inventory: both the amount that they that they order & keep on hand, how quickly they can replenish it, and also how quickly they can sell it. I'd say typically, it's in that range.Krissie Leyland  8:12  Do you help with knowing how much stock to bring in? So for example, you know, if they've run out of something... you mentioned that analytics part. Do you help with brands knowing "Oh, I need to order this much of this product"?Casey Armstrong  8:30  Definitely. Yes, we do. You can start creating notification rules within Shipbob when you're getting low on certain inventory. We're going to continue to invest heavily there to help our customers be smarter through technology. We also have some partners that help with inventory tracking, inventory, planning, order replenishment, and pushing that back up to their manufacturers as well.Krissie Leyland  9:01  That's really good. I can see that saving a lot of time and money as well. You know, knowing where to spend your budget, and what what's selling more than other products, etc. That's cool. Let's get on to the exciting bit. So how did you become carbon neutral?Casey Armstrong  9:22  This was something that we'd been talking about internally for a while. As we thought about it as a company, businesses and businesses like Shipbob need to lead, not just follow. We were actually talking about this with some of our partners a couple weeks ago where consumers are pulling and governments at times will push but the businesses have a responsibility to be ahead of the curve, and do what's right long term. So we need to put our money where our mouth is and lead by example. We can't solely look to, let's say, policymakers or some macro level decisions to force us to do what we actually should be doing. And as we get bigger, there's an additional responsibility for us as well. A couple years ago, we were obviously much smaller. We only had locations in the United States but we've become this global platform. We work with 1000s of brands, soon to be 10s of 1000s of brands, so we need to lead by example. What's important there is that similarly sized companies or smaller companies, and maybe sometimes even larger companies, will hopefully, see what companies like us are doing and then proceed accordingly as well. It's something that we were really excited about and we felt it was our responsibility as somebody who's a global player in the space, and especially such a fast growing space like ecommerce. It was very well received internally, of course, by our colleagues, but by our customers as well. So we wanted to make our entire fulfillment network carbon neutral, and then also allow for an easy option for all of our customers so that the merchants or the sellers to make it so all of their last mile shipments are carbon neutral as well.Krissie Leyland  11:15  That's amazing. That's so good. I was gonna ask about that. So the fact that you're carbon neutral, does that then mean that your customers' shipping is too?Casey Armstrong  11:27  Right so what we did is that we made it so all of our fulfillment centers, and our HQ, and all of our operations are carbon neutral. All of our customers get the benefit off of that. Then through our partnership with Pachama, we allowed for a very easy way for all of our customers to easily activate it so their shipments are fully carbon neutral as well. By Shipbob being carbon neutral that way, at least all of this part of their supply chain, and everything that we can control is carbon neutral. We are looking into ways to help impact things higher up in the supply chain, such as before items hit our docks. But at least for now, you know, we wanted to make sure we took care of everything that's that's in our control.Krissie Leyland  12:20  Wow, that's cool. Do you say that your customers say at checkout, or just before the shopper makes a purchase, does it say "this will be shipped to you in a carbon neutral way" or anything along those lines?Casey Armstrong  12:37  A lot of brands will leverage that. If I recall, the stat correctly, I think it was close to 92% of consumers so that they're more likely to trust a brand that has ethical sustainable practices. A lot of brands truly believe that and some of them are just capitalizing on it. But regardless, it's for the better so that's fine. A lot of brands will, will promote it but some also like to do it behind the scenes as well. So it depends.Krissie Leyland  13:09  Yeah, definitely. I think it's really good to talk about it wherever you can, and like you said, being a global player, it's really important to build awareness & for you to do the right thing to then influence other people too. Then if your customers are doing the same, it just goes round around like a nice little circle of positivity. So one question I did have actually came from the community. So before we organized this, I did a little poll in the Facebook group. One thing that they said about the possibility of outsourcing fulfillment, was that they would be worried that they would lose the personal touch or the customer connection. So for example, they'll do handwritten notes and then carry on the conversation on social media. How can you reassure them that you would be able to keep that when they outsource?Casey Armstrong  14:12  So there's a handful of ways and I totally get that. At the beginning if you do some of the fulfillment yourself, that's probably the smart move. You get to understand the the the mechanics of what actually happens on a very small scale within the fulfillment centers, such as waiting to store your items where you're gonna store your boxes, how are you going to pick and pack it most efficiently? How are you going to actually package it? How are you going to wrap that up? And when are you going to hand it off to the carriers and doing timely manner. So I think that way, again, at some level of scale, you start to understand what what actually goes into it and that will allow you to be more informed when you're having conversations with your future fulfillment provider, versus just maybe outsourcing it on day one, which is which is always an option as well. From the customization standpoint. I totally get that. You need to think through costs and time efficiency though as well. Like you mentioned, like custom handwritten notes. If you're doing it that yourself, you know, how long is that taking you to actually write that and put that in there? At the beginning, it maybe makes sense but once you're really starting to, let's say, sell 1000s of items every single month, that becomes rather laborious. So thinking through where should you best spend your time, maybe it is there? Anyways, back to to answer your specific question... We offer a handful of ways for people to still provide levels of customization. You can have custom boxing and custom polymailers. With some of our partners, like noissue and others, we have green options for those those custom boxes and polymailers. Also, we actually very recently started rolling out gift notes as well. So they won't be handwritten notes but that's something that we're evaluating for later this year, early next year, but we do offer levels of customization.Krissie Leyland  16:09  That's really cool. I was envisioning how you could write the note, and although you can't put the name of the customer, you can still write it and then just have a digital version of it. Like you said, when you're scaling, you can't write a personalized note to 1000s of customers. That totally makes sense. It's good to know that you can still have some kind of personal touch. Oh, I've run out of questions, that's not normal for me but did you have anything that you'd want to share outside of that?Casey Armstrong  16:52  Our mission at Shipbob really, is to democratize fulfillment for brands of all sizes around the world. So whether you're just getting started, or you're doing 10s of millions in revenue every month, you know, we can flex up and down and help support brands. Especially as we start to go more and more global as well, location becomes much less of a barrier. We already work with brands from all over the world. So all I say is, you know, don't hesitate to reach out. Worst case is, you get some of your questions answered in advance so when you are ready to move over to a fulfillment solution, like Shipbob, you're a little bit more informed. So again, I'd say don't hesitate to reach out.Krissie Leyland  17:38  Yeah, it could be in the roadmap for when they do reach that level, they know who to go to... and it will go to Shipbob! I guess the only other question actually would be around the process of becoming carbon neutral. Do you have any insights that you can give? What does it take to become carbon neutral?Casey Armstrong  18:03  A lot of what we did was through credits & through different programs, such as supporting like the Amazon rainforest forest. The reason why we did that is we wanted to be able to take advantage of something that was available immediately, versus something that would take a much longer time. While we know that that option is not perfect, per se, we knew that that'd be the fastest way that we could start being proactive in our ultimate goal of being carbon neutral. A lot of that comes from calculating "Well, what are offsets? What is the energy used across our company?" All of our employees, travel packaging, what's actually happening in the HQ and at the fulfillment centers. And then making sure that with the trial months on some of our partners that we were selecting the right projects and everything to support to make sure that we were putting back in as much as we were taking out as well.Krissie Leyland  19:08  Thank you for that answer. That was really, really great. I think there's gonna be lots more to come in the world of Shipbob and I'm very excited to see what comes next! So thank you. Thank you so much, Casey, that was a really good conversation.

200 Billion tons of CO2. That is the potential amount of carbon that trees -- a solution to climate change that requires no innovation -- can remove from the atmosphere. Nathan and Diego discuss what inspired his carbon consciousness, how he thinks about the path to a more sustainable world, and what forest he is most worried about.   Diego is the founder and CEO of Pachama, a Y Combinator-backed startup working to accelerate the flow of capital to carbon capturing projects starting with forests biomass projects. Pachama harnesses satellite images and machine learning to verify the carbon storage on forests and then connects directly project developers with carbon credits buyers in an open marketplace. Pachama is a new technology startup focused on unlocking the full potential of carbon markets to accelerate forest protection and restoration as a solution to climate change. The company harnesses the latest techniques in artificial intelligence (deep learning, convolutional neural networks) and remote sensing (LiDAR, hyperspectral satellite images) to enhance the verification and monitoring of carbon capture by forests and natural ecosystems. It then aggregates vetted projects into an online marketplace platform that makes it easy for companies to access high quality forest carbon credits, as well as to monitor and share the progress of the projects with multiple stakeholders.   You can get in touch with Pachama through their website (Diego reads all of the messages from the contact page) and they are actively hiring so don't hesitate to reach out.

It's easy to say you can see the forest from the trees, easier still if you deploy a fleet of satellites using bleeding edge artificial intelligence and machine learning to count the leaves on the trees in the forests. Well, not actually, but almost. Diego Saez-Gil, CEO and founder of Pachama, joins us this week to reveal the methodology - and purpose- behind his revolutionary start up. Here's the basic problem: companies want to claim (and in some instances truly be) carbon neutrality, and the most expedient means of getting there is to account for their carbon footprint then offset it through purchasing carbon credits on the exchange. Many well intentioned companies have also committed to reducing the total amount of their carbon since inception, notably, Google. In order to do that, even if Google went 100% renewable energy w/zero carbon outlays from tomorrow on, they'd still need to remove carbon you put into the atmosphere from the past, which would require taking carbon out of the atmosphere. The most efficient means of doing so is, and will likely continue to be for a long time, planting. a tree. But, how do we know that tree really got planted? Or, how can we be sure it wasn't cut down, if the offset was used to purchase a woodland that would have otherwise been felled for timber? This is where Pachama comes in. They certify that the carbon offsets companies buy- largely trees or other plants either already existing or seeded presently- are truly extracting the carbon that they were intended to. You can imagine how easy it would be to promise not to clear cut a remote part of the Amazon, get paid for that promise, then turn around and clear cut it anyway selling the timber. Who's going to venture that far into the jungle to check, and by the time they get there you'd be long gone. Pachama leverages satellites and sophisticated computer engineering to remotely monitor these remote sectors of the world, ensure the carbon offsets are legitimate, and reward good actors for the work they do. Their creating markets, bringing together the sellers of the future with the buyers of past sins. It's truly good work they do, and we're honored to have them in our WSTP family.
