New Year: A new climate momentum?

I hope you had an overall great New Year and relaxing happy holidays with the family. And no, I don’t mean “your baby,” ie. your always struggling super hustle startup :)

I mean family and friends… loved ones. Because otherwise, what’s the point? Work for work’s sake (even when it’s combating climate change) isn’t the idea - it probably won’t make you happy - trust me, I have been there :(

Either way, it’s a new year… and a new you? Or are you busy grinding on the same important mission and metrics as last year?

We here at 4WARD.VC are doubling down on 4WARD.VC's “Partner in Crime” Climate Accelerator program , giving 150,000% to build the most impactful & traction-oriented climate accelerator anywhere.

That means assembling a team of 100+ high-level mentor super connectors for warm intros for our portfolio companies, connecting with 100s more top corporates to facilitate pilots and go to market and of course, building our Climate Startup Crew and Climate VC Crew slack communities spur collaboration and networking across the climate sector writ large.

That’s what we’re doing. That’s what matters to us.

Because we’re ALL running out of time, we NEED a better way to help climate solutions scale and I’m a bit of a workaholic and obsessed with doing something that truly matters :)

In 10, 20, 40 years… it will be too late. Will you take action now or will you look back and say “What if…?”

I don’t have that luxury… none of us do. It is time to act, it is time to change.

Because while the climate crisis isn’t “our fault,” we sure as hell are responsible. And only by accepting that responsibility can we have the power to change things.

And as Uncle Ben told Spiderman…

So, what will 2023 mean for you? How will you take responsibility? How will you change the world, and your life?

That’s the question we all have to ask ourselves. And I certainly don’t have the answers.

I wish you all an incredible, happy, prosperous 2023!

And if you are one of those superheroes building a game changing climate company and looking for your dream team to help you 10x the progress and impact of our your efforts and are willing to hustle like hell to make it happen, consider applying for our Partner in Crime Climate Accelerator (the most hands-on and sales/pilots/traction focused accelerator we’ve ever seen).

Cheers,

Matt
