Startups Will Save Us: Capital raising in the climate era

✌️ G’DAY

Welcome to Startups Will Save Us, a newsletter for founders building solutions to the climate crisis and the impact investors who back them, powered by Raaise.

Each week, we’ll share insights from a climate startup on the ups and downs of capital raising in the climate era, including the inside scoop on the one thing they found most helpful on their fundraising journey.

🚀 WHAT WE’RE BUILDING:

At Raaise, we think a lot about the most efficient way to get founders the funds they need to scale their climate solutions (no joke, it’s pretty much all we think about). That’s why we’re building a platform jam-packed with useful fundraising tools. Here’s a glimpse of what’s to come:

Over the next few weeks, a select few founders will be testing our beta and telling us about all the things they love and (hopefully, not many) things they don't.Join in the fun!
