“What excited me most about Climate Vine was the opportunity to connect with people not on my radar given its incredibly diverse community. I’ve worked in this space for over two decades and have seen so many incredibly talented people enter the space over the past 5 years. Climate Vine is a choose your own adventure sort of community that creates the sort of collaborations that help us advance our best ideas. Some people attend peer groups weekly, truly drink from a firehose and build huge networks, and others are more calculated and come with specific goals. I think there’s something for everyone. The community, leadership and operations will welcome you with open arms wherever you are.”

“Climate Vine is a catalyst whether you are transitioning to climate or already working in the field. I have a deep network in the venture ecosystem, but the climate ecosystem is much broader, and Climate Vine offers an incredible community that has become a cornerstone of my experience. The membership has been instrumental in broadening my horizons, deepening my understanding, and accelerating my efforts to support founders in building innovative solutions to the climate challenge. For example, I've been fortunate to collaborate on a meaningful project with a peer I met here, and I will continue to support their accelerator program. I highly recommend joining.”

“Climate Vine has been a game-changer for my early-stage company, providing unparalleled opportunities to connect both online and in-person with relevant people from around the world. The platform has bolstered our growth and propelled my participation at global events such as COP28. The network is incredible, fostering not only professional collaborations but also meaningful friendships. I am extremely grateful for Climate Vine and highly recommend it to anyone working in the climate space.”

“As someone who’s spent 20+ years in the public and non-profit worlds advancing climate policies and strategies, I was excited to join Climate Vine. Candice curated connections with founders, funders, and CFOs (and excellent speakers too!) that deepened my understanding of the business case for climate action and potential areas for public-private partnerships. In turn, I was able to share my perspective of what’s needed on-the-ground to accelerate equitable action. The relationships I’ve built through Climate Vine are invaluable and inspiring (I’ve even become a mentor to one of their accelerators) and I’m so grateful for this community.”

"Climate Vine is a breeding ground for inspiration, knowledge, empathy and action. The network of members, speakers, resources is so impressive and full it's almost intimidating, in all the ways you'd want. I entered Climate Vine because I knew one thing for sure - in my next career (and life) move, I wanted to throw myself head first into something bigger than myself. What Candice has built at CV has offered an unparalleled foundation for me act on diving in headfirst."

“Since joining Climate Vine, I’ve had the opportunity to expand my network and perspective about the many facets of climate work. Having spent nearly 25 years working in clean energy, I’ve found Climate Vine’s extensive programming on all aspects of climate change mitigation and adaptation fascinating. This is a unique space for experienced professionals to come together, expand our perspectives, and collaborate.”

"Climate Vine has been an ideal place for me to connect with climate people that are sharp in all the right ways: unique viewpoints from badasses just applying their skills to climate for the first time, industry vets who know the ropes (and can kindly share, what, for the love of god, not to do), investors who genuinely care about the planet, fellow travelers looking to team up. More powerful, perhaps than the skills on offer, is the "future mafia" vibe and genuine kindness of the community."

"Climate Vine has been a wonderful resource for learning from and connecting with people in the climate arena. Climate Vine provides access to content for people who want to go deep in a particular sector or graze more broadly across a variety of topics. I've gained a lot from attending speaker events. Some of the member-led discussions have been invaluable. Outside of the programming, I've met some great people through Climate Vine. Candice has built Climate Vine to give people a pathway to broaden their knowledge, network, and opportunities to make an impact. 10 out of 10 experience."

“I have found in Climate Vine an incredible community of thinkers and doers working on literally every aspect of the climate crisis, from deep climate tech, to policy, to carbon markets and financing. Engaging with this community has been instrumental in helping me gain a broad overview of the challenges we face and possible solutions, and perhaps even more importantly, has helped restore my optimism for the future. Hats off to Candice and the team for the care and dedication they have put into curating this community. I highly recommend joining!”

"Climate Vine has provided me with a curated space to explore, share, and collaborate on climate advancements at a depth that’s unmatched elsewhere. The focus on building an equitable and balanced community enabled me to build more fruitful and lasting connections. These higher quality connections helped me quickly identify core audiences and opportunities to share advancements from my field. Over the past year, this experience culminated in the launch of a new project (one I’d been ideating for years) with follow-ons planned, while also connecting the larger community to excellent funding opportunities I couldn’t utilize myself."

“Climate Vine has been a rewarding professional and personal experience. The Climate Vine curriculum included presentations by renowned experts from the entire climate ecosystem; an opportunity to obtain peer group review of new adaptation and mitigation climate technologies, practices, and solutions; and best practices from individuals from around the world who have dedicated their efforts to addressing climate change. Membership expanded my network in climate, finance, government, business, and nonprofits; introduced me to new friends; and increased professional opportunities. I would unqualifiedly recommend joining.”

"I switched from physics and academia into climate; a lot of the longer process stuff of networking, learning a new field, understanding who the major players are happened quickly because of Climate Vine. I can go on, but just to emphasize, this has probably been the single most helpful thing I've done to help switch over"

"Climate Vine has been an instrumental platform in my journey. The community has not only broadened my network but also provided me with invaluable resources and connections that have significantly accelerated my efforts. I highly recommend Climate Vine to anyone looking to make connections in the climate sector."

"I knew that I wanted to work in climate tech and apply my skills and experience to create meaningful impact. I also knew that in order to do that, I needed to know more, and to strengthen my professional network. I found Climate Vine on the recommendation of someone I know and respect, and I decided to join. I found all I set out to through the Climate Vine network, and more that I never would have imagined. I found the position I was looking for, through Climate Vine, and am making myself available to help others find what they're looking for as well.”

“The global community -- that's the magic. I and everyone in Climate Vine has personally and collectively benefited from key players across the climate space. In Climate Vine and the previous iteration, I have met a cofounder, advisors and investors in our start-up who continue to support us years later.”

"Climate Vine is an energizing hub of diverse and entrepreneurial leaders who are all-in on climate. I love the serendipity and efficiency of Candice's targeted curated connections. I gain something from every interaction - sometimes it's a quick spark that helps unblock me or reframe my perspective, other times a deeper relationship or accountability buddy that I keep returning to. Every conversation is a 2-way street built on a culture of giving and sharing honestly. It's a dynamic program that brings people together in various ways, provides a drumbeat of regular programming, and continuously experiments on top."

"Joining Climate Vine was a no-brainer. I have consistently met inspiring, talented and generous folks who are committed to solving the climate challenge. No matter how well-networked you might be in this field, Climate Vine is a catalyst that can enhance your work in so many ways. Anyone hoping to accelerate their climate journey and augment their knowledge of key issues alongside a powerful community, look no further!"

"As a professional in venture capital, I am always seeking avenues to meet visionary individuals with ideas that have the potential to make a huge impact. I find Climate Vine’s programming, which intentionally fosters greater connectivity among professionals and experts from diverse backgrounds to be super helpful in my work. I have also found the sessions where experts in any given area describe the body of knowledge and the state of play in innovation very helpful in scoping technologies that may be ready for commercialization. Finally, I feel that because of Climate Vine everyone in the community is literally one-hop away from each other because of the systems and tools provided by Climate Vine."

“Climate Vine has been transformative for my work. I joined in the middle of a career pivot from tech to environment and human rights and meeting the thinkers, leaders, movers, and shakers in Climate Vine has fast tracked my learnings and growth. It has served as a spiritual incubator for ideas and projects before I take them out to the world and I have never met a higher caliber of more dedicated, empathetic, and smart people. Extremely grateful and can’t recommend enough!”

“Climate Vine is an exceptional place to connect with deeply experienced people in the climate space. From working groups focused on fascinating topics to intimate conversations with climate leaders, I've found the community to be incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and uniquely focused on helping one another. If you're looking for a low pressure, high reciprocity, rewarding way to connect and collaborate with others in climate, Climate Vine is a great place to be.”
