On this episode, I speak with Gabriel Sheer, Director of Inovation and manager of the energy and mobility portfolios at Elemental Excelerator, a nonprofit startup accelerator about the current state of the climate tech/climate solutions startup space at the beginning of 2023. Gabriel is also a good friend. We first became acquainted through his work organizing Seattle Green Drinks in the bid '00s, we later worked together at a sustainability tech startup in Seattle.  Gabriel has had an interesting career leading up to where he is now, from the early days of car share working at Flex Car (and then Zip Car), independent consulting, product and strategy consulting, helping launch Lime Bike, and now working with Elemental Excelerator. Gabriel shares advice for job seekers interested in working in climate solutions startups: build your network, do your research, find a team that you feel like you can trust. Working in a startup can be like riding a rollercoaster and you want to feel like everyone is all-in. Gabriel shared some resources, and I've added a few more to the list below.  ClimateTech VC - CTVC.Co WorkOnClimate.org Slack Community CanaryMedia.com for coverage of sustainability issues and businesses  I've compiled a  list of job boards for sustainability and impact jobs and will keep adding to it. Here are a few of my favorites, and I know Gabriel would endorse many of them because we have traded links and episodes from these sources:  InsideClimateNews.org which also has a number of great newsletters CleanTechnica.com Grist.org Bloomberg Green Climate Forward from the NYT  Spark from MIT Technology Review The Impact – Website, newsletter and podcasts about sustainability startups and VC Volts Podcast and newsletter with Dave Roberts Zero Podcast from Bloomberg  If you are looking for a few books to help you get up to speed on topics related to the climate crisis, solutions and decarbonization:  Speed and Scale Regeneration Drawdown IPCC reports

Gabriel Scheer on Clean Tech and Climate Solutions Startups

On this episode of the Rise Seattle podcast, Tyler and Phil sit down with Gabriel Scheer, the director of strategic development for LimeBike, to discuss the recent influx of bike-share systems in Seattle and what that means for the future of the city. Scheer shares his knowledge of the origin of the bike-share trend, including where other companies have failed and how LimeBike changes the game. He also discusses the push-back LimeBike has received from the locals, the positive effects he has seen and hopes to see in the future, and how the introduction of LimeBike and other bike-share systems has opened the door to a much-needed discussion about transportation and the eventual need for shifting expectations and paradigms in Seattle.
