From helping build smart cities to supporting the sustainable energy sector, the possibilities of big data are endless. But many companies are still wary of sharing data that could expose them to risk and diminish their competitive advantage. What if uniting towards a common goal could help them overcome these fears? Data cooperation expert Massimo Russo shares three ways to jump-start a virtuous cycle of data sharing — and how it can lead to better climate change solutions.

      Collaboration on a better future doesn’t sound like a nightmare to me. Human’s are meant to be a team we’re meant to be able to count on eachother- when did it become common practice to dismiss great innovative change for wealth or status growth. This thought pattern will drive a wedge even deeper between the people who care about this planet and those who only care about the next 50-70 years they’ll be alive.

    stop forcing people to commute if their job can be done from home. reduce demand for energy! no more forced commutes! give people the power to say no! no more evictions from primary residences!

    A great perspective on such a critical topic. These objectives are much easier said than done but each of us in our day to day lives have a say- talk to your boss, your partner even your peers. Small things like switching to a job that funds WFH instead of a daily commute, switching household appliances to be better energy rated, car pooling with friends to catch up rather than all taking separate modes of transport. It’s small but it makes a difference- then after that making changes within the company you work for is where the real fun starts, get a green group started and whole office clean up volunteer day proposed, look into more sustainable suppliers/ ect. We got this even if we don’t see the massive change needed in our lifetime as least we’ve made somewhat of a difference than saying the problem is bigger than me so I can’t do anything. Xx

    Dystopian centrally planned nightmare is not where I want to live, especially as a response to a phantom climate crisis. Fighting climate change? When has one of the dire predictions of these power hungry planners, schemers, and scammers come close to coming true? We have more important things to occupy our time!

    Data is incredibly important to understand how to tackle any challenge. However I have to argue, the main thing affecting the climate is big oil, gas and coal. Individual choice had it’s place, but these evil companies are literally poisoning our planet for profit. Again, data is great, but we already know who the culprit is. Immense pressure is needed by the public to topple their empire, and the younger generations are bearing that burden. We can change the climate in a generation, and we will fight the good fight.

    إن الكلمات لوحدها لا تستطيع سد احتياجات شعوبنا، ولن نسد هذه الاحتياجات إلا إذا عملنا بشجاعة على مدى السنين القادمة وإذا أدركنا حقيقة أن التحديات التي نواجهها تحديات مشتركة، وإذا أخفقنا في التصدي لها سيلحق ذلك الأذى بنا جميعا.

    لقد تعلمنا من تجاربنا الأخيرة ما يحدث من إلحاق الضرر بالرفاهية في كل مكان إذا ضعف النظام المالي في بلد واحد، وإذا أصيب شخص واحد بالإنفلونزا فسيعرض ذلك الجميع للخطر، وإذا سعى بلد واحد وراء امتلاك السلاح النووي فسيزداد خطر وقوع هجوم نووي بالنسبة لكل الدول، وعندما يمارس المتطرفون العنف في منطقة جبلية واحدة سيعرض ذلك الناس من وراء البحار للخطر، وعندما يتم ذبح الأبرياء في دارفور والبوسنة سيسبب ذلك وصمة في ضميرنا المشترك، هذا هو معنى التشارك في هذا العالم في القرن الحادي والعشرين، وهذه هي المسؤولية التي يتحملها كل منا تجاه الآخر كأبناء البشرية.

    إنها مسؤولية تصعب مباشرتها، وكان تاريخ البشرية في كثير من الأحيان بمثابة سجل من الشعوب والقبائل التي قمعت بعضها البعض لخدمة تحقيق مصلحتها الخاصة، ولكن في عصرنا الحديث تؤدي مثل هذه التوجهات إلى إلحاق الهزيمة بالنفس، ونظرا إلى الاعتماد الدولي المتبادل.

    شكرا جزيلا لكم على وعي الفكر لمصلحة الجميع ???????????? !.

    أنقذ كوكبنا!!.

    The nerve of this man! He makes it sound like average people are the big CO2 producers. We all know its the big companies that cause the most. We should be making laws to hold them legally accountable, not making “lifestyle” changes.

    Saying that lifestyle is the source of emissions is putting the cart before the horse. Change the way the big companies do business and you’ll change the way people live. Companies are the ones setting the standard, not the consumer.

Investors want founders who understand the financial reality of their business. Messy data, misunderstood metrics, or waiting until you’re nearly out of cash to start fundraising can cost founders leverage, valuation, and even a term sheet.

In this episode of Build Mode, host Isabelle Johannesen sits down with Sasha Orloff, founder and CEO of Puzzle and Startup Battlefield alum, to talk about what he’s learned from building companies that have raised more than $1 billion collectively.

Sasha breaks down what investors look for during fundraising, which financial metrics founders should know by heart, and why VCs don’t expect your startup to be perfect—they expect you to understand its reality. He also shares how he nearly lost a term sheet because his data room wasn’t ready, how fundraising diligence changes as a startup grows, and why getting your financial house in order can help founders raise with more confidence and leverage.

They get into:
– What raising more than $1 billion across multiple companies taught Sasha about fundraising
– Why investors value founders who have a strong grasp of their company’s financial reality
– The financial metrics founders should know before pitching VCs
How investor expectations change from pre-seed and seed through Series A, B, and beyond
– Why revenue growth and the quality of that revenue are critical fundraising metrics
– How runway, margins, sales efficiency, and profitability factor into investor decisions
– Why waiting until you’re running out of cash can hurt your fundraising leverage
– How Sasha nearly lost a term sheet because his data room wasn’t ready
– Why financial organization and compliance can influence investor confidence and startup valuations
– What founders should have prepared for the due diligence process
– Why VCs don’t expect perfection—and why being honest about what isn’t working can make for a stronger pitch
– How Sasha’s own fundraising and finance frustrations ultimately led him to build Puzzle
– How AI could change the way startups manage accounting and understand their financial health

Space technologist Robbie Schingler cofounded a satellite company that images the whole planet every day, making visible changes on Earth. He shows how pairing that data with AI creates a “planetary intelligence” we can use to spot emerging threats we might not have seen otherwise. Now he asks: Can we close the gap between seeing a crisis coming and actually stopping it?
