The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q So what ended up happening with the round as a whole? Did you stop raising from VCs?

A Yeah, you know, we dialed back on the VC. It's the time investment, right? You know, being a small team, we had to make a decision, like, do we want to raise capital for a business that we haven't had time to manage that, or do we want to focus on the business, understand the value that we're creating, and continue to go to market and allow people to come to us, and that's exactly what's happened. You know, the show's been ridiculously meaningful. The number of LinkedIn Messages that I've gotten from not just all around the country, but all around the world that say like, hey, I would love to introduce you with a good friend of mine who's the director of climate here. Now we're making a lot of inroads with states kind of in the north of the country here that really have values at the line with the pillars of our business.
