Hi everyone 🙋 welcome back to the CEC! We'll be hosting a stall during next week's Freshers Fair on October 1st.

You can find our location on your event maps which will be available on the day - we'll also keep you updated on our socials (@climateentrepreneursclub on Instagram) 🙌🌿 See you there!

We did it! Yesterday, Paco Wu and Rukaiya Khondaker pitched our new idea of the SustainaPod platform to potential investors in Climate Entrepreneurs Club's Climate Pre-accelerator competition. Though we didn't come in the top three, it was worth the three months. Thank you to Ebee Lee, Graciella Edwina Sutanto, Selina Y. for their hard work on this project to get to where we are now. You can find our pitch deck here: https://lnkd.in/e2-mzvh6 We are looking for a back-end website developer to join our team and help us bring this platform to life! If you're interested, please contact us.

Just a couple more days before the final Pitch Day...🚀 I cannot wait to see the pitches of our #cohort2! (Don't mind if I get emotional 👀) Putting so much effort into one huge project is both really difficult and incredibly rewarding, and I feel so grateful for my co-chair Naman Sharma and team at Climate Entrepreneurs . After some of the busiest few months EVER, I feel deeply honoured that this year's cohort chose Climate Entrepreneurs 💚 to start their own ClimateTech start-up, a choice which probably changed their whole perspective on life as a founder (certainly changed mine!!). By working behind the scenes of an accelerator I have discovered so much about the ups and downs of start-up life, the drive and passion that is intrinsic to every all-nighter pulled to prepare for a deadline and finish a uni project in parallel, and so on. Resilience has been key: it has been a LOT, and I don't think I have ever in my life worked this much. But as the final ceremony traditionally held at The Royal Institution comes closer and closer, just practicing my speech gives me goosebumps. Looking forward to the pitches! 🚀 If you would like to join the community / support us, feel free to dm me/our team or reach out to climateentrepreneurs@imperial.ac.uk! A huge thank you to Climate VC, Mission Zero Technologies, Undaunted: Tackling climate change with innovation, Imperial Enterprise Lab, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change & the Environment, Entrepreneur First, Carbon13, Raaise, and Techstars Sustainability Paris for partnering with us on this journey, your support has been truly transformative! 💫 Huge thank you as well to our advisors and supporters who have been present at every step.
