So it's WeWork, but 'Climate'?
Dont get me wrong, we need more ways to elevate and connect people who want careers in green tech. But how about a climate job fair? How about free resources and training? This sounds like a $300 a month networking club for entrepreneurs with a waitlist and a private clubhouse, spearheaded by an ex-facebook tech bro and an arrangement with UWs start-up incubator, the nature of which they "can't elaborate" on. Color me highly skeptical.
I know what you mean. But at least it's in the spirit of Leary's admonition, "Now find the others". It's astounding that people weren't at least talking action ten years ago ... but then who expected COVID.
I've read recently that a LOT of people are sorely needed to learn about heat pump installation. That could be one priority.
