Important Info about Climate Techies membership & accessing our resources and communities!

I don't know if you saw our monthly update email Monday and wanted to make sure you didn't miss out on our all-access Climate Techies membership - especially before we increase the price to $12/mo (or $120/yr) starting in 2024 - which is also the limit we’ll have for folks lagging to upgrade, ie. when we will need to start kicking non-members out of our Whatsapp groups, limiting inclusion and access to Climate VC and Solutions Database and more…

Obviously we don’t want to have to do that, but we also need to make 4WARD sustainable so that we can continue to help you and the community through our resources, guides, events, funding, networking, communities and more…

So be sure to lock in your membership and access today before the price increases

NOTE: We have several openings here for fellowship positions with 4WARD - more details here and at bottom of email .

Want to get your company featured? We do Random Member Shoutouts every week to our 11k+ subscribers - all you have to do is be a member . For more information and to sign up, please visit: 4ward.vc/memberpage

Thank you?for supporting us in making our efforts and organization sustainably able to help you and the climate community forward together!

Cheers,

Matt

PS. Wondering why we decided to start charging?

Building and running one of the largest climate tech communities globally has a TON of costs and effort associated - 1000s of hours on my part personally, let alone our team...?

And do you give your product and 1000s of hours away free to your all of clients?

We NEED 4WARD.VC to be sustainable if we’re going to help drive sustainable change and action for all.

Plus, if membership isn’t worth at least 10x the $100/yr cost with all the resources, partnerships, JVs, networking, events etc… and time you should be saving, you’re not leveraging our community & platform very effectively. It’s time to get to work hustling and making things happen through collaboration!

And that’s what we’re here to help foster.

Thank you for becoming a member and supporting us in our grand mission!
