Hey there, happy Tuesday Wednesday!
📩 Here is your weekly digest of everything that happened in Climate last week.
💡 If you want to join 1-1 matchmaking, our community space, and access all resources - consider becoming a member. It’s a small one-time fee that allows me to build inClimate and this newsletter without ads or investors.
Today we cover last week’s:
🌍 Community updates,
🇪🇺 Closed funding rounds,
🗓 Events & meetups,
📰 Climate news, and
💼 Climate jobs.
Community Updates / Upgrades
Snapshot from last week’s incredible meetup.
🇪🇸 Here are the participants of our largest meetup yet, with 200 people coming together at the rooftop of Norrsken House Barcelona (the most incredible partner). Thank you for a great evening! (more meetups in other cities coming soon! 🤞)
💬 As you’ll see below, or in the community space here, I’ve made big upgrades to the community structure. It’s still missing some final touches before I send out an email about it, but here is a preview:
Jobs & Careers
Jobs & Careers comes with a general chat for all-things careers, a place to spread your CV, and a third space to share open roles.
Founders & Investors
Founders & Investors is only accessible to those two profiles. If you fall into those categories and you have signed up, you’ll be allocated to the groups by me directly.
Resources
Share news & insights, promote events, and offer services in the Resources Section.
✅ We’re now 18,542 members out of 30k readers signed up on inClimate. Make sure to create a profile if you haven’t signed up yet!
Coming next:
💔 June is coming to an end and the roadmap for Q2 is still long, so some of these features will have to be launched in Q3.
💡 All features I’m working on are listed here - you can suggest, upvote, and comment on features. It helps me a lot to get members’ and readers’ input. 🙌🏼 Check it out!
