Hello readers,
About six months ago, we went looking for partners to produce content with for an Earth Day project. After our International Women’s Day 2021 initiative turned out to be such a hit, we’d hoped to launch another advocacy campaign the following month. And what better to advocate than the call to “save the Earth”?
But the project couldn’t take off in time. We had a hard time finding companies who were keen on partnering with us to share their eco-friendly efforts.
Of course, we didn’t let that get us down. Even though we missed Earth Day, we never gave up trying to spread the message that we – especially the startup leaders of our generation – have to do something about climate change. It’s not a mission we can pass on to the next generation because it might be far too late by then.

So for this year’s Startup Arena Pitch Battle, we teamed up with East Ventures to shine a spotlight on the top emerging environmental, social, and governance-focused startups in the region. And earlier this month, in partnership with Taiwan Mobile, we launched The Offset, a monthly newsletter that breaks down the biggest stories and trends in greentech.
So if you want to get original reports and analyses on how tech is taking on the climate crisis in your inbox, subscribe to The Offset now. Our second edition goes out next Monday on November 1.
