CTVR Publications
Much fluff is written about sustainable this and renewable that; we offer clear thinking and plain language about climate tech ventures and the visionaries behind them.
Patronage
We have four patronage levels for entrepreneurs, investment firms, and corporations. Patrons enjoy annual access to all our content, monthly video conference calls with Erik and varying numbers of subscriptions and levels of bespoke research and consulting time at each patronage level. You can sign up for the Bronze patronage level through Substack; please contact Erik directly to register for higher patronage levels.
