Cheap carbon capture, one-click rental stores, tokenized loans and AR-based education - The Startup Tank April 25th, 2022
Hey there,
I decided to take Easter Monday off and not send a newsletter in the hope you’d have more time for your friends and family, chocolate bunnies and of course, finding eggs (outside of working on your startup or finding great companies to invest in - which is how I spent much of my Saturday :)
Two quick pieces of housekeeping before we jump into it.
1. I’d love to know more about you so I can tailor the newsletter to be as awesome and helpful as possible for you - I’d really appreciate if you’d take <30s to fill out this 4 question reader survey.
2. We’ve recently rebranded our angel syndicate from The Syndicate to 4WARD VENTURES (or 4WARD.VC, see below) and will be focusing exclusively on pre-seed and seed stage startups that move the world forward - think climate and societal impact!
Currently in the final stages of a rebrand and would love your feedback on which logo/style you like best.
I’d really appreciate if you’d hit reply on this email and let me know or vote on this poll here on Linkedin.
And if 4WARD VENTURES sounds interesting to you and you’d like to learn more or apply to join our investor group, please visit 4WARD.VC.
But now, we’ve got an incredible slate of companies planned for tonight’s Startup Tank as well as great investors Gabriel Jarrosson from Leonis Investissement and Martin Jankoski from CNB to join our panel and judge the companies.
I hope to see you there tonight 4/25 at 6pm CET (9am PST) - here’s the link to join.
