AgTech Ecosystem - excited to share that next week I will be in LA for 3 days next week at the All In Summit. Yes, the folks that do the All In pod have an in person event and it's done very well (I believe this is their third Summit). I have really enjoyed getting into the All In pod the past year and can't wait to get a chance to see some of the Besties and guests on stage for a couple of days - and of course the parties and the poker should be epic! I think the All In squad has really pushed the discussion on some key tech and political topics forward the past year with some great interviews with key players in both segments. Last week's episode with both Reid Hoffman (who has had a few dust ups with Bestie David Sacks) and RFK Jr was one of the best, with both sides getting a chance to state their case and respond to the other side for over 2 hours. Really some great podcast content and they gave the conversation the time it deserved. If you're not already listening, I highly recommend starting now. If you're going to the Summit, let me know so we can connect live. I'll of course have a full report after the event. Michael Ott and I will be looking for angles to get more AgTech onto the pod, if only because of Friedberg's great work as founder of Climate Corp and Production Board and current role at Ohalo in the genetics space. Rumor has it one of the dinner themes is Top Gun - I've got to find out the other themes and figure out some clothing options ('83 KCHS letterman jacket for Top Gun? Although the actual release was in '86, people forget those details over time ...) Driving back up the 5 then cutting over to the 101 to get a look at some cool AgTech on the way back from LA. Ping me if you've got something worth seeing (and by cool I mean a demo in a field - gotta be out of the shop!) I'm going up to Bakersfield on the 5, then over to the coast for the rest of the trip back. Sachi Desai Rhishi P. Rob Trice

Let's go 

Innovation Zero was a wonderful opportunity to take the lay of the Net Zero land across the UK. Amid a policy to and fro on the eve of local elections, we heard from entrepreneurs and SMEs working in every aspect of the low-carbon transition – although the UK is still heavily weighted towards Energy first and everything else later! Many SMEs were worried about being lost in the "valley of death" between incubation with the likes of Innovate UK and the first steps of scale and commercialization with VCs. Everyone wants consistency from policymakers in order to have the confidence to invest, and a key challenge for the next government will be enabling patient capital to find its way to high-potential companies that are not going to deliver huge investor returns in a short time frame. That said, we also learned more about initiatives like Bristol's City Leap initiative, which is already injecting nearly £500m into low-carbon infrastructure thanks to a public-private partnership with Ameresco. We think Bristol might be an interesting next stop for Netting Zeros when we get back on the road. More thoughts from SMEs like Spaceforge Aerosystems Pvt Ltd., FLIMAX Ltd, BX, OceanMind coming in the podcast very soon so please stay tuned!

Had an amazing time at Innovation Zero, meeting so many interesting people working at critical junctures of climate and business. Expect more in the coming days, but as an American there was something really striking: Many people talked about how the US is now leading in clean-tech investment and the UK has to do more to catch up. That was really not the paradigm throughout my environmental career. The US was always behind on policy, investment in renewables was behind Europe and China (at least the perception), and now suddenly its not. Of course, this wasn't sudden, the US after failing on climate miserably for 4 years found a way forward. Will be interesting to see if the UK follows that shift after several years of lackluster climate performance. One other quick observation: IZ really felt like a modern clean-tech conference. For so long I would go to environmental conferences and there would be one banker, usually from Credit Suisse or somewhere random, and like two green companies. The past two days it felt like everyone we met was either an investor or a company looking for investment. That's huge. We are just getting started.
