Overview
The externship examined methods for sourcing and evaluating early-stage environmental technology startups relevant to a large municipal water utility. Work reviewed startup sourcing funnels, compiled a glossary of domain terms, and documented a repeatable approach for identifying candidate ventures across four weeks.
What I've accomplished
I defined a sourcing lane within the planning, data, and field operations challenge and produced a slide deck that articulated the chosen use case and sourcing focus.
