🌳 ClimateU Updates

We finally added our product roadmap to the website so that you can see what we’re working on or suggest new features. We’ll share mini updates here so that you can stay on top of relevant new features.

What’s new?

💧 Water is now a standalone category across ClimateU. We separated it from the “Nature” vertical.

💼 We now feature all jobs with salary ranges in this newsletter to give employers more visibility and jobseekers more transparency.

💸 We added a monthly plan both for investors & service providers who want to access all our resources.

What are we working on?

👋 A new onboarding flow that gives new members access to the information and members that are most relevant to them.

💚 We’re rethinking the community concept and what we should be doing differently to then relaunch the community in August. We’ll publish our ideas so that we can co-create the right concept with you.
