💚 ClimatEU goes Forbes 30 under 30
Last week, I’ve been named Forbes 30 under 30 for building ClimatEU. There are still so many things to do, but I want to celebrate this moment and leave a massive thank you and a big hug to everyone who has been supporting this crazy journey.
A big thank you to all the startups, investors, and jobseekers who come back to this newsletter, the platform, and the Slack channel every week to work on things that truly matter.
I'm truly excited about the things to come for the European ecosystem and grateful to get recognized for the work that I've put all my heart into. Fighting climate change and bringing people together for a living is a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have happened without such an incredible community.
