Branding Update: 4ward.vc is now 4ward.earth
We’re changing our URL to avoid confusion… Cause we’re not VC.
Nothing changes for you, but if you have any technical issues (like last week’s Transportation call having some hiccups), please let us know and bare with us.
Have URL issues? Just replace “.vc” with “.earth” in url
Your previously saved links might not be working currently (we working with our devs on this). In the meantime either:
go directly to 4ward.earth or circle.4ward.earth to access whatever links/content/events you were looking for
replace “.vc” with “.earth” for any links you have trouble with
(circle.4ward.vc/events » circle.4ward.earth/events)
