Swiss Startups Square Off - Greenhouses Getting Greener, Sustainable Shoe Delivery, Smart Phone Addiction and the Future of Social Travel
Hey!
We’ve got an epic, all-Swiss themed Monday planned so I hope you’re ready for it.
But before we jump into the clanging cowbell, bellowing alphorns and incredibly delicious Swiss chocolateness of tonight’s Swiss Startup Tank, I wanted to share an update about 4WARD.VC’s angel syndicate.
4WARD.VC’s planning to syndicate our 1st climate & impact company since rebranding to 4WARD.VC and I couldn’t be more excited about the company, the mission or the world-class founder behind it all. Unfortunately, I can’t share all the details unless you’re a member of our accredited investor syndicate, but I can say that their helping fix the farming/food system by reducing tens of billions per year of waste and solving a major water pollution problem to boot.
Pretty amazing stuff. If you’re an accredited investor and interested in learning more about 4WARD.VC’s angel network and investing in companies that move the world forward, please visit: 4WARD.VC/syndicate
By the way, I am trying to do a better job of knowing my readers and tailoring my newsletter for you. I’d really appreciate if you take 10s to help me serve you better!
