Shaun co-founded Urban.Us as one of the first urban tech investment platforms structured as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation, formally embedding public benefits alongside returns in the firm's charter. He built a specific investment thesis around startups that could reach 100 cities within five years to help cities respond to climate change, focusing on the hard parts like hardware and government procurement while creating extensive playbooks and community platforms to share climate-urban investing knowledge openly.

Third Sphere is an early-stage climate fund that concentrates 80% of its portfolio in hardware-enabled solutions while most VCs avoid hardware, building specialized playbooks for funding physical systems and pioneering climate resilience beyond just carbon reduction. The firm operationalizes a "Seedstrapping" model that combines $250k-$1m investments with AI-driven efficiency and alternative financing to help hardware companies reach $1m ARR or $10m in pre-orders within six months, making traditional growth VC optional.
