My Third Derivative Mission

Everyone at Third Derivative (D3) is committed to tackling the climate crisis. But we’ve got more personal reasons for being here, too. Here are just a few highlights:

"My individual mission at D3 is to help foster rigorous, global, and inclusive climate entrepreneurship. For now, if I could help scale even a single climate mitigation technology company that can reach gigaton-scale impact, I would consider it a success. "

Busie Pholi
