Happy Monday!
I hope you're all doing well and staying warm in this chilly weather. Yesterday it snowed for the first time here in NYC this season. It was a nice change from the surprisingly warm weather that has stormed NYC for the past month. Maybe it's because of global warming.
Global warming or not, climate tech is one of the hottest areas right now. Founders, including fellow Trojans, are racing to build solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Without further ado, let's dive into some of the best climate tech startups founded by Trojans.
