🌍 Last Week in Climate #142
Hey {{firstname|there}}, happy Tuesday!
📩 Here is your weekly digest of everything that happened in Climate last week.
Quick update on the new community upfront:
🌍 Last week’s calendar’s been full of onboarding calls with readers who joined the new inClimate community membership. I had so many great conversations — with Joe, John, Tommy, Laura, Sophia, Dan, Cornelia, and more. It’s great to see everyone share the excitement to co-create this space now with the first 200 members!
💚 To keep the momentum going - people can still join the community and get full access to all inClimate databases for 50% off until March 31st. I’m personally onboarding every new member 1:1, and I’d absolutely love to have you on board! The code is CLIMATE50. Know anyone who should join?

Active Funding Rounds
Last week, another two climate companies announced their upcoming funding rounds on inClimate, taking us to 201 open rounds.
Deal of the week:
🇸🇪 Nic and Erik at Untap! are raising a Seed round.
“Untap! is a sustainability-driven water technology company that provides clean, off-grid drinking water using ultra-efficient Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) systems powered by renewable energy.
We extract pure drinking water from the air, using solar, wind, or biofuel to power our AWG units. Our modular, scalable systems reduce dependence on groundwater, desalination, and bottled water, cutting costs, carbon emissions, and plastic waste. We serve industries, sustainable buildings, and water-scarce communities with cost-effective, locally produced water.”
