It all begins with curiousity
Welcome. If you’re new, curious, or quietly wondering if your idea is naïve, you’re in the right place.
This community exists to help people learn, ask questions, and think through ideas around climate and energy technology. You don’t need experience. You don’t need a startup. You don’t need answers yet.
Here’s how to begin.
1. Share only what you’re comfortable sharing
You’re never expected to disclose anything sensitive here. High-level ideas, questions, and curiosities are more than enough to start a discussion.
If you want to go deeper, you can sign and share a Mutual NDA privately. That option exists, but it’s not required to participate.
2. Understand the real risk is not idea theft
It’s natural to want to protect your idea. That said, most first-time builders overestimate how valuable the idea itself is and underestimate how brutal execution actually is.
The tricky part isn’t the idea. It’s turning it into something that works, survives reality, and finds a market.
Be thoughtful, but don’t lock yourself into silence. Exploration requires conversation.
3. Start with questions, not pitches
You don’t need a polished concept. In fact, please don’t start there.
Good starting points:
- “I don’t understand how this part works…”
- “Why doesn’t this already exist?”
- “What am I missing about energy/cost/scale here?”
Questions beat declarations every time.
4. Lurk first if you need to
Reading is participating. Take time to explore past discussions, see how people frame problems, and get a feel for the tone. There’s no rush to speak.
5. Expect honesty, not hype
This is a constructive space, but it’s grounded in reality. You’ll get thoughtful feedback, not cheerleading. The goal is learning, not validation.
If something doesn’t make sense or won’t work, we’ll talk about why. That’s a feature, not a flaw.
6. Curiosity beats confidence here
You don’t need to sound smart. You need to be curious.
Most good builders start confused. The only real requirement is a willingness to learn and rethink assumptions.

Curious about climate technology?
We help people understand how ideas become real-world solutions, and when it makes sense to build something bigger.
