Description
Listen to this episode from CLIMB by VSC on Spotify. In our latest episode of CLIMB by VSC, we speak with Tommy Leep, founding partner of Jetstream, where he invests in pre-seed climate sustainability and biodiversity startups. Tommy previously worked at AngelList, Haystack and Floodgate, and invested in startups like Robinhood, Patreon, Clubhouse and Mercury.
In 2019 Tommy read The Uninhabitable Earth and realized that he needed to do something about climate change. He shifted his investing to focus on founders who were conscious of our society’s impact on the planet and working toward a better future. Through Jetstream, he helps these founders get access to the people and resources they need to create a thriving planet.

Through the conversations on our show CLIMB by VSC, we're excited to share what we're doing at VSC and VSC Ventures on climate innovation with companies like Ample, Actual, Sesame Solar, Synop, Vibrant Planet, and Zume among many others.
