Saving baby cows, billions in fertilizer runoff and upcycling food, drinks and plastic waste - Tonight's Startup Tank's Climate and Impact Edition
Tune in to see what investors from 4impact, Peak Capital and Teal Impact have to say about these 6 great founders moving the world forward!
Hey there!
I’ll keep this one relatively short as 4WARD.VC’s been busy with due diligence on two super promising energy and agtech startups we’re looking at syndicating to our angel syndicate of climate and impact-focused investors. Unfortunately, I can’t share more (unless you’re accredited investor and apply to join our angel group) but I can definitely say get ready for fireworks as tonight’s session of The Startup Tank will undoubtedly be the most action-packed and talent-filled pitch contest we’ve had to date.
Luckily, I’ll be joined tonight by an all star panel of climate and impact investors from 4impact, Peak Capital and Teal Impact to help with judging the incredible teams and founders.
It’s sure to be a lot of fun, so if you’re you a founder looking for funding or an investor interested in companies moving the world forward, don’t miss tonight’s session of The Startup Tank: May 23rd @ 12pm EST (6pm CET).
SELECT PRESENTING STARTUPS INCLUDE:
wiCow: Reducing cow birthing deaths from 6% to 1%.
Bomway: The B2B Trustpilot of fair wages and supplier sourcing
DOTS: Soil sensing to stop billions in fertilizer runoff pollution
Materials Nexus: Harnessing AI to develop sustainable new materials
Foodsquared: Upcycling food and drink by-products into plant-based proteins
Voltiris: Transforming greenhouses into renewable solar powerplants
Plus a few possible surprise entries :)
I hope you are as excited as I am about the amazing lineup who’ll duke it out for the chance at funding their company and being crowned Startup of the Night.
It’s going to be a great one so be sure to tune in here at 6pm CET.

A big thanks to our amazing new sponsor: LEVA
We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with LEVA to sponsor the entire 1st season of The Startup Tank. As a company with a similar mission to our own, looking to simplify venture investments for everyone, it just made sense!
In case you somehow haven’t heard of LEVA, they are one of the service providers we use for setting up 4WARD.VC’s SPVs (for more on SPVs and the pros and cons of investing via syndicates, see this post)
What we particularly love about LEVA’s next generation digital SPV is that it allows anyone to set up and manage an SPV, issue digital shares, manage ownership, secondaries and follow-on, all through an intuitive digital interface to more efficiently and cost-effectively deploy capital - no cumbersome lawyers, legal fees or paperwork required.
To discover the future of venture capital investing and syndicated deals and set up your low-cost, no minimum SPV today, visit: leva.pe today and tell them The Startup Tank sent you :)
Upcoming Startup Tank Dates!
And don’t worry, there’s lots more Startup Tank planned in the coming months, with sessions June 6th and 20th planned in partnership with great investors like Peak Capital, 4impact, Teal Impact and Climate Capital/C3 as well so be sure to join on Meetup and apply to our Google Form pitch/attend here.
That’s it for now. I’ll see you all tonight at 6pm.
Have a great Monday,
Matt
