Climate and energy entrepreneurs face challenges that traditional startup playbooks don't address. Their ventures can require massive capital and take years to reach market, all while striving to achieve a positive impact on people, planet, and profit. This book adapts the MIT-born "Disciplined Entrepreneurship" framework specifically for climate and energy ventures, recognizing that founders in this space need their own approach.
