🌳 ClimateU inClimate.com Updates
Where do I even start?
Last week was a big milestone on this founder journey - the new domain and name are up, we incorporated a new entity, and we’re gradually updating everything we’ve built these past 2.5 years.
🥚 Changing our company name across 180 web pages and all channels was quite the Easter egg hunt, but I think we caught them all by now.
This week, we’re working on making everything on the platform much clearer, especially landing pages and onboarding.
If you have any feedback on the platform or community, I’d love to see your feature suggestions on the product roadmap. They’re super helpful!
