In 2020, Anders Hofman Laursen became the first person ever to complete a full Ironman triathlon in Antarctica — an unparalleled feat of endurance, resilience, and mental strength. Yesterday, we hosted him for a keynote at our Annual Christmas Lunch 🎄 Here's what it taught us about b2b sales... 😆 Jokes aside, but not really, because here’s why building startups shares key lessons with Anders’ feat: Successfully launching a start-up starts with a bold vision. Just like an Ironman in Antarctica, building something groundbreaking means pushing through skepticism and believing in your potential. Forcing your vision into existence with pure willpower. Antarctica’s harsh, unpredictable conditions mirror the volatile journey of startups. They face shifting markets, competition, and uncertain futures. Success demands grit, adaptability to the conditions, and relentless perseverance. Both require commitment to a long-term mission and demand marathons in the cold—one figuratively, the other quite literally. Embrace the Iceman mindset: “Limitations Are Perceptions.” Here’s to those who dare the impossible, whether conquering the coldest continent or building the next game-changing startup 💙❄️💥

Welcome to the BlackWood portfolio, founders William Godfrey & Sebastian Abdy Sabouné, and team Tangible! London-based fintech startup Tangible has raised £4.0 million from BlackWood, HCVC, MMC Ventures, and Systemiq Capital, Future Positive Capital 💷 Founded in 2021, Tangible helps companies building climate hardware — such as gigafactories, emobility providers and heat pump manufacturers — to access the deep-pocketed debt markets that they require to scale. Tangible is also collaborating with 28 major banks on a grant-funded project to standardise financing for emerging climate assets. “Hardware is the backbone of our climate transition, but there’s a critical financing gap as companies try to scale,” said CEO William Godfrey. “While venture capital can fund development, accessing debt markets is essential for deployment at scale. Our platform bridges this gap by turning climate hardware into bankable assets that institutional capital can understand and fund.” Freya Pratty & Sifted has the full story here: https://lnkd.in/dFHYmNU4 We believe Tangible will unlock the potential of climate finance, and we look forward to supporting their mission to turn the tide on the climate crisis.
