1/ Today, I published a letter on the three forces shaping our energy future: The surging demand for electricity; the growing geopolitical advantage of clean technology; and the disruptive market forces lowering the costs of clean energy. Read it at speedandscale.com. Let’s build, friends, build.

To make history, you have to honor it. In 2004, long before I joined Kleiner Perkins, I sat at the iconic table at KP as a young business school student visiting Sand Hill Road for the first time. It was a dream to just be in that room, let alone become a partner at Kleiner Perkins one day. I couldn't have known how much that moment — and this place — would shape my own journey. This short film reflects on the people, partnerships, and defining moments that built this firm, and the principles that still guide how we back founders today.

5/ That’s why, alongside my letter, we’ve updated the Speed & Scale Tracker, with new data from Climate TRACE and sharper metrics. It shows what we need to build, with price targets and deadlines that square with a habitable planet.

6/ What was once an opportunity is now an imperative. The moment, once again, is now.

It’s hard to imagine a better use for AI than @EvidenceOpen. Daniel Nadler and his world-class team at OpenEvidence are building what I believe will become an AI-era treasure—a life-saving resource for doctors, patients, and their families. I can’t imagine the future without it.
This year, more than 100 million Americans will be treated by a doctor who has used OpenEvidence. Word of mouth has propelled @EvidenceOpen into 10,000 hospitals and clinics, helping healthcare providers access, evaluate, and apply the world’s medical knowledge. We’re proud to co-lead their Series B alongside @GVteam as they redefine evidence-based care.

I'm thrilled to share the @speedandscale 2024 Global Climate Tracker. It shows where progress toward net zero has been made, where it's lagging, and what we need to do to get there in time. Dig in. speedandscale.com/tracker/

It’s one thing to announce a net zero target. It’s a another thing entirely to sign contracts to deliver on it. Huge props to JPMorgan for inking some major carbon removal purchases. We’re stoked to go put another 28,585 tCO₂ underground @CharmIndustrial wsj.com/articles/jpmorgan-ma…

I’ve been playing around with @OpenAI’s #ChatGPT tool, and I’m so impressed by its ability to articulate and interpret complex issues. I just prompted it to “write a ten-tweet thread on healthcare in America,” and this is what it gave me:

This might come as a surprise, but protected bike lanes are the best investment of a city’s infrastructure dollars when it comes to tackling the climate crisis. speedandscale.com/now-is-the… Here’s why ⬇️ 1/8

Did you know that while over 50% of Fortune Global 500 companies have a climate commitment, only 5% have a clear net zero goal for 2050 or earlier? That's less than 30 companies! If you work at one of these companies YOU can fix this 🧵from #VERGE22 @GreenBiz on what to do ➡️
