Question. Who should we meet about climate hardware exits or more specifically M&A . We have IPOs and private secondaries pretty well covered, but happy to learn more. We’re now approaching 10x in climate investments since 2021 compared to cleantech 1.0. We’ve unfortunately repeated some of the mistakes and there are some signs that large bets will fail. But there are also some fast growing, even profitable climatetech startups. The problem is we don’t have many exits to confirm that this time is different. The last required step is to turn paper gains into cash. Unfortunately, as we learned about fundraising, the software playbook isn’t reusable because so many of the companies include hardware. So who has figured this out? Could be founders, investment bankers or folks who’ve led corp dev. Main specific qualification is they’ve worked on deals involving hardware or climate, or both. Please add to the comment s (if you prefer email or DM, that works too).

🌍💡 Embracing Interoperability: The Evolution of Carbon Markets 💡🌍 The landscape of carbon markets is rapidly evolving, with a significant shift towards fungibility and interoperability. What does this mean? We (at the SoHo Global Climate Fund) spoke with leading climate fund manager, Charles Bedford of Carbon Growth Partners, to shed light on this important trend in the carbon markets. It's about creating seamless connections between compliance and voluntary markets, allowing for the exchange and recognition of carbon credits across borders and sectors. This trend marks a pivotal moment in our collective efforts towards combating climate change. By enabling carbon credits to be fungible and interoperable, we're fostering a more efficient and scalable approach to carbon pricing and emissions reduction strategies. Companies and organizations now have greater flexibility to participate in markets that align with their goals. #CarbonMarkets #ClimateAction #Fungibility #Interoperability #Sustainability #Innovation #GlobalImpact

Ocean freight container shipping spot rates are set to exceed the level seen at the height of the #RedSeacrisis when the latest round of increases hit the market on June 1, according to the latest data released by #Xeneta. “The ocean freight container shipping market has seen rapid and dramatic increases during May and that is set to continue with further growth in spot rates.

For PE portco's, vision ≠ financial targets. What's more likely to inspire and motivate the team in your port-co? → Target: "Achieve $100m revenue and $25m EBITDA by 2025." OR → Vision: "Heal and transform 100k lives by 2025." Ask yourself: does your value creation plan spell out the vision for the company? ▶️ #PrivateEquity #Vision #ValueCreation

One of the reasons we invested in Carbon Ridge is the team’s pragmatic approach to decarbonizing up to 90% of shipping vessels’ total CO2 emissions. Chase Dwyer and I had the pleasure of diving into Carbon Ridge’s potential for massive global impact with Jamie Hailstone at Forbes this week.

THE ocean freight container shipping market is peaking, but shippers' challenges persist. Recent data from Xeneta showed that on July 15, the cost to ship a large container from the Far East to the US East Coast increased by 3.7 percent to $10,045. The rate to the US West Coast rose by 2.0 percent or to $8,045. These increases are lower than the hikes on July 1, at 22 percent and 12 percent, respectively. #containerfreight #xeneta #TheManilaTimes Ocean freight market spot rates increase

Despite carriers injecting significant capacity into the market, strong demand for vessels on Asia’s export trade lanes continues to outpace supply. Efforts to manage unseasonal heavy volume, cope with longer voyages around southern Africa, and address congestion in key ports remain challenging. As we have all seen, Ocean Freight rates continue to jump significantly every month. The situation underscores the ongoing struggle to balance supply and demand in container shipping. Rate hikes are coming in the months ahead too. If you are unhappy with your rates or cannot find bookings, QFL has proven ability to secure bookings regardless of the challenging times we currently face.
