SLUSH DELIVERS 🚀 A week ago today I was on stage as part of the Slush 20.  It was a proud moment. I got to tell the story of why Pyrpose.  And to put it simply, it all comes down to leaving this planet a bit better than we found it.  A message my father engrained in me when camping as a kid…hence the slide you see 😃 How?  By investing directly into the future of the planet! 🌍 Making it into the Top20 was a special treat that provided for great connections, investor meetings and founder focused discussions. Doing good for the planet and making a return is the model to solve the climate crisis.  As I walked out into the audience after my presentation, I had people ask me how quickly they can sign up to Pyrpose.  Winning would have meant the world to Pyrpose, but knowing I inspired some folks to think of how they invest a bit differently, really made me smile. 😊 Christoph and I had a full climate led calendar with side events, dinners and a night cap for nature!  Thank you Pierre and Jahed. 🙌 📣 The team at Slush, Kalle, Kia and Elin all did an incredible job giving us the spotlight to learn from each other, from investors and successful entrepreneurs. The finalists all did an amazing job. I am inspired by mission driven founders.  Nima Salami, Sara Okhuijsen, Sabrina Bösch, Dora Jambor, Cormac Chisholm, you guys rock, keep it up! 👏 Fleur Heyns Ed Stevens Anthony Stephan Vivek Chandaria Glisten Cieslak Rishi Bhattacharya Green Fintech Network Gerrit Sindermann Pierre-Loïc Caïjo CV VC arterioscope, ContentRadar, DevAlly, Flowcore, FULLY AI, Gralio, Inzipio, Lendorse, Metabob, MinersAI, Mohana, OASYS NOW, Pal | Digital Palliative Care, Senara GmbH, Sightwise GmbH, Signatur Biosciences, SLY and Supersight.

🙌🏼Wow.  From over 1000 applicants, to the Top100, then to the Top50 and now…Pyrpose made it to Top20! It’s truly an honor. Slush has always been my favorite conference. It’s not just the atmosphere but the community of founders, investors, and leaders who are pushing the limits for a better future. 🌍 Last year I noted how I saw climate creeping in more and more to the group of founders on the stage. This year, they have an entire Impact Stage.  Maybe it was there before and I did not notice it! 🤔 📍 If you’re attending - catch me on the Founders Stage for a chance at €1M in investment at 12.45 local time on the 20th November. A massive thank you to the Slush team, Cherry Ventures and General Catalyst for this incredible opportunity and congrats to all the others who made it to Top20 as well!🤝🏻    It takes a village! And we have one around Pyrpose! See you in Helsinki 👋🏻 Fleur Heyns Florian Kemmerich Ed Stevens Vivek Chandaria Anthony Stephan Glisten Cieslak Rishi Bhattacharya Gerrit Sindermann CV VC Pierre-Loïc Caïjo Qanta Energy SA | Producteur d’Energies Renouvelables Green Fintech Network

🚨Accelerating Regulatory Compliance in #Sustainable #Finance Through #Technology ✨ I had the pleasure to discuss together with Regula Hess from WWF Switzerland, Anja Ludzuweit, CFA from MSCI Inc., aptly moderated by Akash Arasu from South Pole how banks can apply innovation and technology to create a #winwin for clients and planet. As Switzerland’s first digital sustainability bank, radicant bank is at the forefront of enabling a sustainable transition through sustainable #banking and of democratising impact-oriented #investing aligned with the UN #SDGs. The Swiss #Green #Fintech Network is an ideal ecosystem to find partners for sustainability integration, data management and reporting to make sure that that sustainability is a business case for future-proof companies. Great intro by Erol Bilecen and Gerrit Sindermann and inspiring use cases from Michaela Reimann of BLKB, Simone Thompson from CLIMADA Technologies and Kai Gramke of EconSight! Thanks to the Green Fintech Network and the Swiss Banking - Schweizerische Bankiervereinigung for organising the insightful workshop with the same name on 29th October. Keep it up! 🌱 radicant bank #InvestInSolutionsNotProblems #SustainableInvestments #ESG #SDGs #2030Agenda #Impact

🌍 Retrospective: #SustainableFinance and #Tech seminar, co-hosted by Swiss Banking - Schweizerische Bankiervereinigung and the Green Fintech Network (GFN) 🌍 We were delighted to host yesterday's seminar in partnership with Swiss Banking. This event was a comprehensive exploration of how regulatory #compliance and technological #innovation are driving sustainable transitions in the banking sector. Key Insights: 🌱 Sustainability in Financial Advice: The journey to full sustainability integration requires adapting each step of the value chain and key bank processes—from administrative functions to client interactions. Data is crucial in this transformative phase. 🌱 Green Fintechs as Catalysts: We showcased how innovative green fintechs are pivotal in transforming data into actionable insights, aiding banks in mitigating risks and capitalizing on new opportunities. 🌱 Challenges Ahead: Despite the progress, hurdles remain in achieving full sustainable compliance, emphasizing the need for continuous innovation and adaptation. This workshop not only highlighted real-life #usecases of banks and green fintechs collaborating but also illuminated the path forward in sustainable finance. 👏 Appreciation for Our Experts: Thank you to all our speakers who shared their expertise and insights, listed alphabetically for acknowledgment: Akash Arasu, South Pole Ryan Beangstrom, Verdant Data Dominik Bucher, Scandens Kai Gramke, EconSight Sebastian Glink, CLIMADA Technologies Regula Hess, WWF Switzerland Anja Ludzuweit, CFA, MSCI Sustainability Institute Julian Osborne, Pelt8 Dr. Jan Amrit Poser, radicant bank Michaela Reimann, BLKB Gerrit Sindermann, Green Fintech Network / Green Digital Finance Alliance Your contributions made this workshop a rich and rewarding experience for all attendees.
