What’s in our Slack club?

😃 People: A community is only as good as its people, and we’re inviting some amazing people interested in investing + making a climate impact, including you! On a given day you might interact with:

• A house remodeler looking for green financing

• A college student looking for a green savings account

• A CPA that’s curious about carbon credits

• A CEO of a climate finance startup

🎟️ Events: The club will host various virtual events about climate investing in our Slack, including:

• Q&As with climate founders to learn about their perspectives on climate investing

• Meetups via Zoom or Gatheround to network and learn.

✅ Opportunities: The club is a forum for others to share:

• Specific climate investing opportunities (both non-accredited and accredited)

• Writing and news related to the intersection of climate and money

• Climate investing jobs

• External climate investing events

• Need: We’re building the climate investing club that we want but haven’t been able to find.

• Energy: A good Slack community buzzes with serendipity.

• Privacy: LinkedIn and Substack are great but Slack is much more private (comments delete after 90 days), which allows people to speak more freely.

• Sense of place: Slack provides a true digital home base.

What people are currently talking about in the CIC…

Speaking of the Slack, it’s already taking off ✈️. One of our favorite members suggested considering Compensaid and Recoolit if offsetting flights is your kind of thing. We have more to say about offsetting but that’s a topic for a future newsletter.

FYI, we always ask permission before posting screenshots from the Slack!
