🌍 Last Week in Climate #152 - Community Space 3.0 is Live and FREE

Your weekly climate digest by Tim Steppich from inClimate.com

Hey there, happy Tuesday Wednesday!

📩 Here is your weekly digest of everything that happened in Climate last week in the last two weeks.

👨‍💻 I skipped last week’s digest because of two major updates that have been taking me lots of late nights:

Launching the freemium version of our community space here ✅ (You should have received an email from me yesterday. If not, how dare you not be an inClimate user yet?)
Rebuilding inClimate’s backend on “Supabase” which will improve our jobs matchmaking and lay the foundation for inClimate 3.0 ( ⚙ Still work in progress, hopefully live by August)

💡 Please make sure you join the new freemium community space here, post your intro, and let me know if you have any feedback. 4 years of work, lots of love, and many late nights have gone into building this, so help me make it even better and consider signing up for the full membership.

Today, I cover last week’s:
🌍 Community updates,
🚀 Deal of the week,
🇪🇺 22 Closed funding rounds,
🗓 Events & meetups,
📰 Climate news, and
💼 Climate jobs.

(Gmail cuts these emails off, so make sure you click to see the entire newsletter)

Community Updates + v3.0

Just dropping another image from our Barcelona meetup here because it was so much fun.

💚 inClimate Community 3.0:

I relaunched our community space as a freemium version yesterday. Anyone can now introduce themselves, ask questions, and celebrate wins. If you were part of the old Slack channel - you will be happy! Make sure to join here, create an extra account, and post your intro.

Some notes on the space:

You do need to create another profile for the community space, I’m working on soon automatically creating the profile for everyone on inClimate, but that will still take a while.
Make sure you adjust your notifications so that you stay updated on relevant posts, but don’t get spammed with every update. I’m also enabling an automatic weekly summary for you every Thursday.
The sub-communities and specialized chats will stay paywalled with a €99 one-time fee so that interactions there stay high quality over quantity.

🚀 New Backend: I don’t want to bore you with details and why this is gonna be such a game changer for inClimate, but if anyone here is a Supabase nerd and wants to help me set up some Edge Functions and LLM integrations, then I welcome all the help I can get. If that’s you, please leave a comment here. Big thanks to our tech advisor Lukas Fingerle who needs to listen to my monologues about it already.

📅 I’ll take a little event break in the community space while everyone is on holidays so that I can get all the crucial platform and community updates done and host events again from September onwards. 1-to-1 matchmaking will of course continue running! If you want to host intro circles or local meetups over the summer, leave a comment here please and I’ll reach out.

Deal of the Week

Bhavishya (Vishy) Ramchander at Have it SUST. is raising a pre-seed round 🚀

Bhavishya is an absolute rockstar and launched the company in January after working at the likes of J.P. Morgan and Nestlé. You can also find Bhavishya in the Founders & Investors space of the community and reach out to her directly there. 💬

Here are the details 👇

"Have it SUST. is raising a €650K pre-seed round to enhance its AI-powered sustainability scoring engine, onboard mission-aligned fashion brands, and expand its consumer-facing marketplace across key European markets (launch in DACH, Nordics, parts of Western Europe)

We are currently seeking a lead investor and are looking to raise the full amount. This round will support with perfecting the product, evaluating the product market fit, launching the offer, completing the team, enrolling brands to the platform and launching the app.

We’re looking to partner with investors who are passionate about the intersection of technology, sustainability, and consumer experience, particularly those with expertise in marketplaces, fashion tech, or regulatory-driven innovation (e.g., CSRD, DPP).
