Issue #1 (Goodr, COI Energy, ECOncrete)
Meet the best women-led climate tech companies.
Welcome to our new subscribers! ClimateRaise is a newsletter for our network that showcases early-stage climate startups led by women founders, and connects them with climate ecosystem partners. The newsletter is short and to the point. We want to provide you with useful information, not flood your inbox with yet another lengthy publication.
How it works:
🕵🏽♀️ We find great, vetted, women-led climate startups.
📝 Our biweekly newsletter then highlights a diverse selection of those start-ups and gives you the opportunity to opt-in for 1:1 introductions to the featured founders.
🤝 We’ll connect you with those founders ASAP.
Who we are:
We’re female investors and founders combining our passion for climate and supporting women leaders. Einstein (maybe) said, “[w]e can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” We want to enable the success of a new class of entrepreneurs with the fresh and diverse perspectives needed to solve climate change.
How we define climate startups:
We’ll be featuring companies that: (1) mitigate the causes of climate change by reducing GHG emissions or increasing GHG removal; and/or (2) provide climate change adaptation solutions. We will not be featuring companies that are eco-friendly or companies whose business and impact models aren’t linked.
