Happy Swiss Day: Syndicate Updates and Upcoming Climate Startup Pitching
Hey there and happy Swiss National Day! Sure, you’re probably not Swiss but my wife and son are and as we’ll be pseudo celebrating the national holiday in style, we’ve decided to push this week The Startup Tank Climate Investor Pitch Show with Zero Carbon Capital and SOSV to Thursday August 4th @ 5-7pm.
We have a phenomenal lineup planned (more details below), but first, I wanted to give you a quick update on the latest happenings with 4WARD.VC and our climate syndicate.
First of all, we’ve managed to close our LARGEST investment to date in EExion, an Israeli battery tech company who’s breakthrough battery architecture charges an EV in mins, not hrs, lasts 20-30x as long without degradation and doesn’t require highly pollutive or expensive materials like Lithium, Cobalt etc…
We’re super excited about the company and happy to share more with anyone well-connected in the battery, EV or stationary energy storage spaces who could be valuable to the company going forward.
Additionally, I’m thrilled to announce our syndicate’s working on investing in two more super promising waste reduction and biotech/agtech companies. If you’re an accredited investor and interested in learning more, please visit 4ward.vc/syndicate :)
