@posi2ive Community Update
This week we took a break from hosting our weekly live podcast on Twitter Spaces. We have nearly 50 amazing speakers lined up through the new year — including many Founders / Angels / VCs / Authors from the community, who we’ll be interviewing in the coming months. In addition, we’ve been catching up on the #EVOLve Series (highlighting the impacts made by startups and funds across the globe).
We also included a new landing page for Impact Verticals — covering both Sustainability and Social Good subdomains, along with lists of top startups in the respective arenas for everyone. See examples below. It was fun to dive into GPTchat to create the backbone for these series — nearing around 200 Impact Verticals we plan to publish over the next few months. We’re nearing 1k subscribers to this newsletter!
