Intro

Hi friends,

I hope everyone’s new year has been off to a good start!

I’v decided to start formally writing and publishing articles via this Substack. A couple years back while in grad school I wrote many in-depth research articles for an online health and longevity platform called FoundMyFitness. These research articles became a creative outlet for me to learn about new topics while writing digestible articles for a broader audience. This past year I have once again found myself researching and writing about technical topics but now with SVLC, an early stage VC firm.

At SVLC we invest in early stage founders across the U.S. and Latin America who are building solutions to solve global problems. I support our investment operations through market and technology deep dives in addition to speaking with domain experts and startup founders. Writing has become an to be an important tool to help me both think and communicate. I plan to publish industry and technology overviews related broadly to either health (biotech/health tech) or climate (energy, industrial, food/ag, built environment, etc.) There will be special focus on Latin America given my personal experience working with SVLC, who has been investing in the region for the past decade. I hope to convey the many reasons why I am excited about the health and climate startup ecosystems in Latin America.

Until next time,

Garrett
