Looking to refine your climate investing expertise? Our friend Yoann Berno (prev. GP at Climentum Capital) decided to democratize climate investing (to drive greater impact than merely running a fund) by creating a super hands-on Invest like a Climate VC 2-day workshop for angels, LPs, FOs and aspiring climate investors. – Use code FRIENDS20 for 20% OFF!
