The Climate Clock is Going TikTok...
August 15th Startup Tank Climate Investor Pitch Show and much more!
Hi there, how’s it going?
Remember Climate Crop: Fighting climate change by genetically reducing carbon footprint of crops? They won June 20th’s edition of The Startup Tank.
Well, I’m so excited to announce that I’ll be joining the team as an advisor as I believe so fully in the impact potential of what they’re doing
Imagine if trees could absorb twice the CO2…
Imagine if crops could product 40-90% greater yields and become more resilient despite worsening climate conditions…
Well, Climate Crop does all that. They’re not currently raising, but you can get a feel for the company and the incredible potential by watching Yehuda pitch here:
Outside of that and interviews on a handful of climate tech startup podcasts, no earth shattering news or updates from 4WARD.VC - although we are currently syndicating two very promising climate disruptors (SORRY more details for accredited investors only at 4WARD.VC/syndicate)
So, since there’s not a whole lot this week, figured I’d share a fun cartoon to illustrate some of my frustration when it comes to the general public and tackling climate change.
I’m sure you can you relate!
Luckily, there are still great founders fighting back. For instance…
Did you miss Last Week’s Startup Tank?
If you did, you missed a thriller of an episode with Gener8tor VC and Capital Nature. You can watch the full recording here on Youtube:
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the episode.
And while you’re at it, you should also subscribe via your podcast platform of choice :)

Dancing with the Devil…
After holding out for a long time, I’m sorry to say The Startup Tank is now officially on Instagram and TikTok… Although the addictive algorithms and absurd TikTok challenges are a danger to society, I decided to dance with the devil to get more exposure and support for climate from our younger generations.
Obviously, I’m being a bit sarcastic, but would love if you’d follow The Startup Tank Climate Investor Pitch Show on Instagram and TikTok if that’s your thing :)
Upcoming Startup Tank Dates!
And don’t worry, there’s lots more Startup Tank planned in the coming months, with sessions Aug 29th, Sept 12th and 26th planned in partnership with great investors like OGCI, Anthropocene Ventures, Aera VC and many others, so be sure to join on Meetup and apply to pitch here.
That’s it for now. I’ll see you next week!
