Mentoring Major Climate Companies + Monday’s MASSIVE Startup Tank Lineup with Techstars, Unreasonable & Bosch!

Hi, how was your weekend? I’ve been INCREDIBLY busy (with the future of 4WARD.VC ’s climate syndicate & investor group - which I can't make public yet...), so I’ll keep this one short.

4WARD.VC has some VERY exciting news coming soon! In preparation for that and in keeping with our goal to be the most connected, well-networked and helpful investors to “accelerate” our portfolio’s growth and impact, we’re looking to meet potential high-value, super-connector mentor/advisors across the industry landscape to bridge the gap between large corporates and startup innovation

Because that’s where the real impact is, scaling climate solutions to decarbonize industry!

So, if you work in any of the following industries or are very well-connected and interested in occasionally connecting with gamechanging climate companies and making strategic intros to help your network hit their sustainability, impact and profit goals, please say hey and share a little more about yourself and your background.

Primary Industry Focuses:

• Food & Agriculture (including CPG, food brands, retailers, packaging etc…)
• Construction & Real Estate (including CRE, builders, suppliers, municipalities)
• Recycling & Waste Management (including govts/municipalities)
• Commerce/Ecommerce & Fashion
• Manufacturing, Plastics & Materials
• Energy Storage & Generation (including utilities, renewables etc…)
• Transportation & Mobility (including municipalities)
• Finance, Banking, Payments & Insurtech (not including crypto/blockchain)
• Oil & Gas

Reach out and help us scale more solutions to combat climate change!
