About this listen
Evan Hynes is the CEO and co-founder of ClimateBase, the leading job platform for climate. Launched in 2020, ClimateBase has scaled incredibly fast with over 250,000 monthly users, over 100,000 subscribers to its climate newsletter, and more than 7,000 participants to the ClimateTech week it recently organized in San Francisco.
And all of this growth with only 7 full-time employees and ~$300K in angel investor funding.
In this episode, we talk with Evan about:
- His early experiences in community-building as an undergrad at UC Barbara and then at a YC Combinator startup offering software engineering bootcamps.
- The origin story behind ClimateBase stemming from Evan's personal challenges with finding relevant climate jobs and building network in the climate space.
- The climate job gap and how to successfully transition into a climate career.
- The importance of timing in startup launches and the power of viral word-of-mouth to grow ClimateBase to 250K users without any paid advertising.
Enjoy the discussion!
