ClimateRaise is taking a summer break!
S1 2022 Recap / Some numbers / Your Feedback!
After welcoming two new members to the team, Sharon Bort and Charlotte Mallo in December, the first semester of 2022 was high in growth.
We’re going to take the rest of the summer for a break and to think through what’s next for ClimateRaise, which means now is a great time to reflect and reshare the amazing companies and impact this community has had so far.
Thank you for being part of our community empowering women led companies and keep your eyes on your inboxes in the fall for continued content from us!
