Climate Networking & Synergies (QUICK ASK)
We're looking to meet connected folks and drive climate impact
Hi there, how’s it going? Anything I/we can be helpful with?
Well, I had an ask too - to see how best we can help each other and Team Planet combat climate change.
To do that, I’m looking to meet some folks at relevant corporates/govt agencies etc… and thread the needle on climate impact at scale
So, see if any of these are relevant for you and/or your organization or work, and if they are, hit reply and let’s chat :)
Part 1. Networking and Synergies
For Government Agencies/Municipalities & Initiatives
Are you part of a govt agency or initiative focused on promoting sustainable development and innovation in your region (can be energy, agriculture, transit etc…)?
If so, we should connect and chat (or just fill out your info here): We’re looking to connect promising climate startups and solutions with municipalities & governments initiatives to facilitate a faster transition to a sustainable, net zero economy/world.
Just hit reply and share more about yourself and your org/entity and how we at 4WARD.VC can help you hit your sustainability and innovation goals.
For Corporates & Large Businesses
Is your organization serious about decarbonizing and/or promoting sustainable innovation to hit your SDG/ESG goals and future-proof your business?
If so, apply here for our FREE Corporate Innovation Partner Program
Basically, we’ll send you relevant climate startups & tech for potential pilots/partnerships etc…, make your innovation scouting easier and it doesn’t cost you a dime (at least for the 1st companies willing to join the program).
Help us help you hit your sustainability goals and win brownie points with your company’s Head of Sustainability & Innovation :) Apply now!
NOTE: Don’t worry, this isn’t any official commitment or partnership on behalf of your company. It is just a personal thing and there are no strings attached.
For Everyone Else
We’re also looking to meet with the following types of folks, so if you (or someone you know) would be a good fit, just reply and I’ll share more details
We’d like to connect with:
Sustainability Heads of Universities
Corporates with large campus holdings
Owners of large commercial real estate (CRE) holdings
Hotel and hospitality owners (cruises, airlines, etc…)
Renewable energy project developers
Folks in wastewater & water processing
Hydroponic or greenhouse growers
EV charging station providers
Climate & sustainability-focused media outlets
DIY retailers in the US (like Home Depot etc…)
Yes, that’s a mouthful - but that’s what it means to be a Partner in Crime - we go the extra distance to help our companies succeed and scale. Speaking of…
Part 2. Did you miss 4WARD.VC’s "Partner in Crime" Climate Accelerator announcement a couple months ago?
If so, it's NEVER too late to apply - we're doing away with the silly MASS cohort model (of indexing the market) and partnering with 1-3 KICKASS climate companies per month so you have our FULL attention.
We hustle & break ALL the rules, networked growth hacking with our 140+ top industry mentors to dozens-to-hundreds of warm intros to help climate tech founders land 2-5+ new MAJOR customers/pilots and raise your REAL round
If you're looking for a PARTNER IN CRIME to help scale your climate startup, be sure to apply
