Hey there, happy Wednesday!

💡 Gmail cuts this digest off in the middle, so make sure you’re reading it online here.

We’ll cover last week’s:

📰 Climate news, and
💼 Climate jobs.

New: Let’s build inClimate together

When I started hacking together inClimate in 2021 and this newsletter in 2022, my goal was always to co-create the platform, the community, and the content with you.

But until now, there hasn’t been a clear way to do that — no good system to collect your feedback, share what we’re building, or invite you into the process.

And I know many of you are part of inClimate, but still aren’t quite sure how it all works and how to get the most out of it.

That changes today.

Now, you can:

✅ Share bugs, ideas, or feedback — or upvote others’
✅ See our public roadmap and comment on features
✅ Get notified when updates you care about go live
🛠️ (Coming next) Explore video walkthroughs for all resources

I’ll be adding walkthroughs over the next few days and will share more behind-the-scenes context, comments, and thoughts as we go.

If you’ve got a moment today, jump in and leave your first suggestions or upvote an existing one here.

I hope this will make the process of building inClimate much more collaborative, transparent, and fun. 🚀

inClimate Updates

Our favourite event in Barcelona is back - this time on Norrsken’s gorgeous rooftop.

🇪🇸 Our Climate Drinks event at Norrsken is back on June 19th! We renamed it to Climate Meetup and you can register for the 5th edition here. They have been fully booked very quickly in the past, so make sure to sign up today. We’ll be enjoying the incredible views of Norrsken’s rooftop over drinks, a little intro round, and lots of casual chats.

🥳 We’ve cracked the 18,000 members on inClimate.com. Make sure to create a profile if you haven’t signed up yet - it’s free to join!

📞 Climate AMA (Ask Me Anything) and Intro Circle are next Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. You can join and learn more via the community space here (members-only).

🇩🇪 I’m traveling to Wiesbaden, Germany tomorrow and will be in Heidelberg as well over the next 10 days, so email me if you’re around. Very excited for some quality time with the family and for lots of “Kaffee und Kuchen”.

💡 All community features I’m working on are listed here.

Deal of the week

The Devera team, from left to right: Fernando Marzal (MD @Zubi Labs), Sébastien Borreani (CEO), Miguel Jiménez (CTO) y Alexander Schwarz (Chief Growth Officer)

🇪🇸 Sebas at Devera.ai is looking for a Business Angel to close their round.

“Devera’s end-to-end automated Life Cycle Assessment tool enables brands to measure the environmental impact of their products 10x easier and faster than the alternative way.

It delivers actionable insights, enabling brands to automatically measure, compare, report, and improve the carbon footprint of all their products.

This allows them to be more transparent with stakeholders, comply with Green Claims regulations, and efficiently decarbonize their operations.

Devera is already working with several renowned brands across Europe, simplifying automated data collection. Thanks to these insights, companies can focus on improving their processes and clearly communicate their sustainability commitment backed by data-driven evidence.”

Members can learn more about Sebas, Devera, and the round via inclimate.com/rounds and validated investors can check out the pitch deck.
