Joseph Goodman spent over 20 years as an energy-transition operator and technologist across wind, solar, fuel cells, buildings, EVs, and industrial decarbonization before becoming a full-time investor, giving him unusually broad technical experience for a seed-stage VC. He positions himself as a climate quant who has authored technical publications on solar deployment and focuses on less crowded but system-critical parts of the climate stack like battery metals recycling and geothermal energy.
