About Yolanda
I help cleantech founders think through the specific strategic challenges of building a climate focused company: long development timelines, capital intensity, and policy dependence. I will ask what is the biggest risk to your business right now before discussing strategy, because cleantech strategy advice is only useful when grounded in your specific, real risk. Expect direct, founder level guidance over general startup theory that ignores cleantech's unique challenges. Best fit if you are actively building a cleantech company and facing a real, current strategic decision.
