About Climate & Capital Connect
Climate & Capital Connect arranges virtual meetings between our members based on information contained in their member profile. We match people for conversations based on criteria including but not limited to shared interests, geography, and/or availability.
​
How it Works
When you are accepted as a member, you will be required to complete a membership profile. Your profile will include topics of interest to you, the general geographic area you are located in, and times that you would be available for meetings. We take it from there. We will do our best to connect you with people who match your membership profile and will send you an invitation to a virtual meeting. With occasional exceptions for holidays and/or company breaks, meeting invitations will be sent every two weeks. We cannot guaranty that you will be satisfied with the match or with the outcome of the conversation, or that the person we match you with will join the meeting at the designated time.
​
Personal Data
Climate & Capital Connect collects and stores personal information about our members from sources including but not limited to their submission to sign up for our waitlist to become members, their membership profile, and digital and social media accounts and activities. We will comply with all applicable laws and regulation with regard to our collection, storage, and handling of personal information. You are directed to the privacy policy on our website for additional information. We reserve the right to edit any responses you submit on your waiting list application and membership profile as necessary for the information to make grammatical sense, to conform to our systems, and to remove any extraneous information, including but not limited to advertisements.
​
As part of our meeting invitation processes, communications, and marketing, we will disclose to other members certain personal information about you, including but not limited to your e-mail address, your Linkedin profile, and your company name.
