Hey everybody, welcome to this week in startups. I am super pleased to talk to the founder of

running tide today because I care about climate change like I'm sure all of you do. I believe in climate change and solving that problem

as best we can in that there must be solutions to it, but I'll be honest.

I feel like a neophyte, I feel like I don't have the education I need, I trust the scientists,

but as an investor and a technologist, I would really love to be able to invest in some companies and some visions and see people take some big swings and some risks and build companies around this and my friend Chris Saka who's a big fan or a big friend of the pod I should say

I assume he's fan of it but I know he's a friend of the pod

Tweet it out from his at-Saka account recently that running Tide was the kind of company we're hoping we would find when we started lower carbon.

Everybody knows Chrisaka retired from angel investing.

He did well enough with Instagram and Uber and decided hey I'm going to just cash in my chips and be done

But then he said you know what I want to do a carbon-based venture fund investment fund and he says here, bonkerscale unreasonable ambition, massive

impact on the planet during insane times, it's entrepreneurs like Marty Oddlin that fire us up and he linked to a story about running tide and I thought

even though it's early days I would have the founder Marty Audlin on the program to talk to

us about what he's doing with running Todd. Welcome to the pod,

Marty. Thank you very much. How many of these stocks would I as an American, average American, need to put in the ocean to just be carbon neutral.

But I need to put 100 stocks, one stock.

Okay, great question.

Let me work it out really quick.

Geez, this is actually my nightmare when I was talking about coming on this.

Coming on the pot is actually doing like real-time.

I really shouldn't ask it this way.

It was kind of a jerk way to say it.

But I mean, some way to say is how many stocks would it take for the entire planet to be carbon neutral?
