Hello reader,
You know what’s heartening about today’s funding data? It’s the fact that two of the three top-funded startups on the list are in the climate tech space. And while we only have one firm on the M&A list, it’s also focused on tackling climate change.
Climate change is real, and as the years go by, we’re feeling its impact more and more. Rising temperatures, floods, drought, crazy storms – the vibes, as they say, are not immaculate.
So I’m glad that investment is flowing into the sector. I really think that if we pour money and effort into it, we’ll find the right solutions to preserve this planet for our future generations.
