Why I Re-started ClimateTechJobs (and What I’m Actually Doing With It)

For the past few years, I’ve had the same conversation over and over again with people from tech.

They’re smart.
They’re mid-career.
They’ve worked at serious companies.

And they’re quietly asking the same question:
“I want to work on climate… but I don’t know where I fit.”

They’ve looked at ClimateTech job boards.
They’ve skimmed fellowships.

They’ve listened to podcasts and read threads and bookmarked companies.
And instead of clarity, they feel more overwhelmed.
That’s not because they’re unqualified.

It’s because ClimateTech is genuinely hard to navigate.

The problem isn’t skills, it’s signalOne thing I want to be very clear about:
Most experienced tech professionals do not need help “translating” their skills into climate.

Product managers, engineers, operators, data folks, program managers… those skills are already needed across ClimateTech.

What’s missing is:

• A clear mental map of the ecosystem
• An understanding of which sectors actually fit their background
• Confidence about which companies are worth pursuing, and which ones are just noise

ClimateTech is noisy on purpose. There’s a lot of capital, a lot of narrative, and a lot of urgency. That combination makes it hard to see where you actually belong.
What ClimateTechJobs is (and isn’t)ClimateTechJobs is not a job board.
It’s not a resume service.

It’s not a course about climate basics.
And it’s not a mass-market fellowship.
What I’m doing instead is much simpler and much more specific.

I work with experienced tech professionals to:

• Understand the ClimateTech landscape at a high level
• Narrow it down to sectors that genuinely make sense for them
• Identify companies where their background actually compounds
• Move forward with clarity instead of spray-and-pray applications

I only work with people I would be willing to introduce into my network. That constraint matters to me. It keeps the work honest, high-quality, and grounded in reality.

Why I’m doing this nowI’ve spent my career building and investing in climate and energy companies. I’ve raised venture funding, worked with the Department of Energy, guest lectured at universities, spoken at government events, and advised founders and operators navigating complex systems.

I’ve also watched a lot of talented people burn out in traditional tech because their work felt disconnected from anything meaningful.

ClimateTechJobs exists at that intersection.
Not to rush people into climate, but to help the right people move toward it deliberately.

Who this is for
This is for you if:

• You have several years of experience in tech
• You’re pulled toward climate work, but unsure where to aim
• You’ve done some exploration and still feel stuck
• You want clarity more than motivation

If you’re casually browsing, this probably isn’t for you.
If you’re early in your thinking, that’s okay.
And if you’ve been quietly reading, unsure whether this is relevant for you… that’s usually a sign it is.

What happens next
Right now, I’m working with a small number of people one-on-one while I refine the structure and approach. Over time, this may evolve into small cohorts or other formats, but the core will stay the same: clarity first, noise reduction, and real-world grounding.

If you’re curious whether it might be a fit, there’s a simple way to tell me a bit about your situation there too.

No pressure. No resume required.
Just signal in a very noisy space.
