Today we announce a new venture, @ottrisk Over the last year a few things have become clear: the world is more uncertain than ever, and the situation for small businesses is more perilous than ever. Technology and capital can play a role in solving this problem.

Every investor who is serious about long-term financial performance and risk management should be factoring #climate into their portfolio management. #ESG #impinv #ClimateCrisis
