Hey folks. I currently have a super cushy job in the valley but really want to quick my job and build something in the climate/energy hardtech space. My issue is that I have no experience building a startup or any experience in climate/energy. So my question is, how do I get started with an idea and build my first product in this space?

I'm working in the climate/energy space. Every day I think to myself, I'm doing something incredibly smart, or incredibly dumb.
Find people who have an idea that 1) is understandable; 2) makes a difference.
I'm convinced that at least 1/3 of the ideas out there are some form of greenwashing, that do not have rigorous sustainable impacts to climate. So look out for that.

why not go work with a small team thats doing it? You can get some of the upside (equity) without the golden handcuffs, and instead of doing business stuff you can actually work on the product. My $0.02
