Innovation endows us with the ability to understand more about our planet than ever before. Sensors and satellites provide imagery, temperature, and unlimited data about our atmosphere, oceans, and soil. AI helps us decode this data to optimize energy grids, route vehicles efficiently, and plant invulnerable crops. Robots move our physical world with autonomous drones, self-driving cars, even robotic strawberry-pickers. And this is just the beginning.
The advances in sensors, AI, and robotics empower us to fulfill our perennial human obligation as stewards of our planet. We can now incorporate the awareness of our collective impact on the planet as we design new systems and open new industries. Our duty is to contribute to and spread life and beauty on our planet as we grow, so that we may flourish symbiotically. Jetstream invests in founders who are building startups that advance our vision of the future.
About Tommy
In 2019 I read The Uninhabitable Earth and realized that I needed to do something about climate change. I shifted my investing to focus on founders who were conscious of our society’s impact on the planet and working toward a better future. I started Jetstream to help these founders get access to the people and resources they need to create a thriving planet. Previously I worked at AngelList, Haystack, and Floodgate, and invested in startups like Robinhood, Patreon, and Mercury.
What We Can Achieve Together
“Tommy is the bridge between the tech and climate community.”
“In my 10 years in the Bay Area in this world, I would be hard-pressed to find someone with the level of EQ power Tommy wields.”
“Tommy brought in co-investors, candidates, and connections — I couldn’t be happier. Now with so much heat in Series A, B, and beyond, we need people like Tommy identifying the earliest climate tech startups and bringing them to the next level.”
“Tommy’s superpower is being a connector. He has materially changed the course of our business by helping us find our Head of BD & Sales and finance team. He goes above and beyond in fundraising by being an early believer and coaching us through the process.”
“Tommy was one of our earliest believers. He not only invested in us, but also introduced us to our lead investor and many others that followed his lead.”
“Tommy was clutch in fundraising — from his advice on how to raise pre-seed and seed, to investor intros and backchannels, to how to tell our story in slides. He’s super well-connected in the climate community and has been a consistent source of intel and customer intros.”
“Tommy was an early believer and became our guide for fundraising. He’s on the inside and knows what to look for, interprets what Sand Hill Road VCs are actually saying, and coaches us in our strategic communications.”
