Hello <<First Name>>!

The money is coming... but where is it? If you attended our last Meetup "Show Me the Money" you would know. No worries if you couldn't make it, we have the recap here. One place there is money, CalSEED! They will be accepting applications starting Feb. 17th - March 5th, 2023. Make sure you check out our discussion and learn more at the info session Feb. 15th.

There are more discussions this month on Scaling and Solar. Our discussion on California offshore wind development is our most popular video this year. Watch the video on our YouTube Channel to find out what all the commotion is about.

The CleanStart team is growing! We would like to welcome aboard our latest addition, Ed Fletcher. You may have heard him on Cap Radio, read his reporting in the SacBee or may have seen him building camp at Burning Man. You can watch him interview Gary and Thomas here.

Check it all out and join us this week!
