Climate

If you could wave a magic wand and make a startup appear, that had a killer team and $100M in funding to work on a neglected climate solution, what might you have this startup work on?

OMG I love that… it would be great if we could create some sort of materials marketplace that would support the cost of deploying billions of self-replicating nano bots to just walk all over Earth eating and recycling every bit of trash that exists on public land

Recycling tech and flows.

Tech can be wild here. Brainless pitch: “Use LLM to generate bacteria candidates that can digest tires. We make the AlphaFold for bacteria”. This is of course a ™️ idea.

Flows look wild too. Some new kinds of EBay, incentives to sort garbage, etc.

New processes for biofuels.

Recent reports show ethanol from standard processes based on corn pollutes more than gasoline (full cycle of course). Yet it uses good old processes, apparently brute force scale without real innovation.

Yeah, I did read that! The whole idea of pipelines drilled to the melted water under Antarctica was interesting (quite a higher price point for that one, though). 🙂

Have you read 'Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson? Some interesting funding ideas in there, especially the plausibly deniable ones you find out about later on.
