Great to see Sharper Sense included in this list of top New York neuroscience companies created by F6S! The City of New York is a great place to develop neurotech and we have had tremendous local support from Columbia University, Columbia Technology Ventures, Cornell Tech, Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, Long Island High Technology Incubator (LIHTI), and New York City Economic Development Corporation

Great feature on Dr. Raju Tomer's lab and their new tool that can cheaply capture high-level images of brain tissue that were previously only possible to capture with ultra-expensive lab equipment. https://lnkd.in/gpEBpv3z

On March 8th, Princeville Capital had the privilege of hosting an event in partnership with the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment (CCSI), delving into the intricacies of measuring the impact of Climate VC as part of our ongoing collaboration. The focus of this initiative is to enhance our climate impact methodology and strive for greater industry alignment. Our discussion focused on the standardization of key principles, definitions, and methodologies in climate impact assessments and reporting. By engaging multiple stakeholders, including early-stage VC, growth equity, private credit, and infrastructure PE funds, as well as Limited Partners (LPs), we brought in diverse perspectives across our industry. Key Takeaways: 1. Transparency Matters: Participants highlighted the importance of transparency in climate impact reporting. This ensures that stakeholders, particularly LPs, can comprehend the basis of calculation for key KPIs like enabled emission savings in CO2e. 2. Framework Consensus: Alignment emerged on the asset-level impact measurement framework, emphasizing lifecycle emissions and establishing a robust baseline using Project Frame methodology. 3. Ambiguity and Nuances: Challenges persist in horizontal attribution of impact in a value chain, consequential approach considerations for market impacts of new technology, and establishing impact thresholds in the pre-investment process. 4. Growing Techstack: Encouragingly, more and more technology solutions have emerged, enabling a robust climate impact and ESG tech stack for investors. 5. Industry-Wide Alignment: Daniel Firger from the Venture Climate Alliance emphasized the importance of broad industry alignment, not just within Climate VC but across private and public market investments overall. All efforts must align with the Paris Agreement targets to save our planet. Special Thanks: A heartfelt thank you to all participants for contributing to this crucial dialogue. Our sincere appreciation extends to the CCSI team, especially Lisa Sachs and Perrine Toledano, for their exemplary research and meticulous preparation. Let's continue our collaborative journey toward a sustainable future!
