Great hunt @pascal_weinberger and congrats @andre_retterath on the launch of the 2024 report. It's really insightful to see who are the driving forces of focusing on data in the VC ecosystem. For me it's about amplifying conviction with data so the Data+Human aspect is a clear value.
Also great to see you evolving it to a Summit and tools.

I simply love it @nanransohoff . I have been building climate startups for a while now and work with VCs and startups to build more sustainably. We used Stripe as our payment mechanism. This is just great product thinking and focus in leveraging scale for impact. We gave you some love from Zerofirst Ventures as well!
