We were delighted to work with Dealroom.co on its State of Impact 2024 report, alongside ImpactCity. The report examines the state of the impact startup and VC ecosystem and the latest climate tech trends, whether that's the dominance of climate tech investment to the global slowdown in VC funding. It also profiles innovators who are making a difference. Like Michael van Cutsem, CEO of BEEODIVERSITY, who is changing the way we approach biodiversity regeneration with support from Entrepreneurship for Positive Impact. 👉 Check out the full report here: https://lnkd.in/dViNpb2k
