Hey there, happy Wednesday!

This week’s digest is a little late because…

🥳 Today, we’re finally opening the doors to our new community space.

I’ll keep it short, promise!

You might remember that we closed our 10k+ members Slack community and revamped the community space with 100 members in December?

💚 As of 5 minutes ago, you can finally join the new community and our newly launched sub-communities on inClimate.

💡 We made a big change to our business model too and decided to give members access to ALL our resources and databases to support them with any insights and contacts they might need.

So, members now get access to a great community, tailored sub-communities and direct support, but also access to a full-fledged insights platform to help them find companies, track funding rounds, and contact members.

I think that’s pretty cool?

📞 I’m personally 1-1 onboarding the next 100 members on 30-minute calls to best understand everyone’s needs, to make sure we connect them with the right people across the ecosystem, and to take them through the resources that are most relevant to them.

So if you or someone you know

• wants to be a part of this,

• has wanted to access our directories for a while,

• would like to jump on a 1:1 call with me, or

• just wants to help us level up inClimate this year,

then you can learn more about it and join here:

You’re now of course as excited as I am about the new community, busy signing up, and don’t even want to read the weekly digest anymore, but just in case you do…

📩 Here is your weekly digest of everything that happened in Climate last week:

Community Updates

🖖 We’re now 16,592 members. You can check out who’s new via the members directory (which also looks a bit sexier now).

🇩🇪 Next Hamburg inClimate Coffee Meetup here.

🇪🇸 Barcelona inClimate Coffee Meetup tomorrow morning and Norrsken Climate-Tech Circle tomorrow at 18:00. This is our event only for Norrsken members in Climate to understand how to best support them.

💿 Rasheq and Natalia hosted a really interesting kick-off event for our new inClimate Data sub-community last week. You can join the data sub-community here to stay in touch with everyone and follow-up.

☕️ For those who are not part of the community yet, but want get involved a little more - you can join one of our weekly intro circles every Wednesday.

📞 The weekly check-in calls for members are on the same days and times as always.

💚 You can now join our new community space and our sub-communities.
