Putting Women Center Stage for Better Climate Solutions — Helen Bertelli, Co-founder of Women in Climate Tech

Cofounded by Helen Bertelli, Women in Climate Tech provides free monthly programming to its hundreds of members and newsletter subscribers to facilitate the career growth of women fighting the climate crisis. The organization recognizes that the climate and gender equality issues are closely intertwined and is striving to solve both. She is also the Founder of Benecomms, a climate- and impact-focused marketing and PR firm.

"We have a dual mandate at Women in Climate Tech," she said. "The first part of the mandate is to do whatever we can to serve our members — getting them jobs, facilitating financing rounds, and more. The second part of that mandate is to seek the largest scale of impact possible at which to do this work. Working in a system that is stacked against you can be soul-destroying work, and we want to change that underlying system."

She said, "We formalized this group and then really launched more broadly in January of 2021. We have seen explosive growth with new subscribers and members joining every day. We provide monthly programming in the form of networking events, speakers, skill development opportunities. We are still trying various formats to learn what best serves our members, but at this point all of our programming is free, and we believe we’ve provided tremendous value to our early cohorts."

Here is the transcript summary of the podcast.
