Ship fast, ship right
Ship faster.
Ship right.
That is the dream.
Every climate founder wants the kind of product discipline that helped Amazon scale from nothing into one of the most valuable companies on the planet.
You’ve probably read the Working Backwards books. Listened to the Bezos interviews. Bookmarked the six-pager templates.
Maybe even tried to copy the rituals.
And yet nothing changed.
Because a book can’t call you on your decision theater.
The methodology works.
But copying Amazon rituals without the feedback loop, the pressure, and someone who actually lived the process is how you end up with generic PRDs and the same bad decisions in better formatting.
Scott Renda has spent 11+ years as a Principal at AWS, shipping products across AI infrastructure, edge computing, and data centers.
He ran and participated in the Working Backwards process dozens of times, at a scale most climate founders will never touch.
In this session, we’ll cover:
Why most climate products fail at the business layer, not the science layer.
The 6 failure modes that kill climate startups before they scale.
How Amazon’s PR/FAQ methodology adapts to the specific physics of climate tech.
Why the fastest founders aren’t the ones who build first. They’re the ones who are wrong sooner.
Because in climate tech, the wrong product decision does not just cost you a sprint.
It can cost you a factory, a pilot, a customer, a financing round, or years of runway.
