Six years ago, I was a @TeachFirst teacher. Six months ago, @IlicMat and I started working full-time on @greenworkx_. Today, @greenworkx_ is in @TechCrunch and has raised £600k. I’m dedicating the news to all my former students. [1/9].

The London-based team has just closed pre-seed funding to build "the go-to talent portal for green jobs".

Thank you to @riptari from @TechCrunch for taking the time to talk to me and @IlicMat. Natasha has done some great recent coverage of climate startups (e.g. covering @lun_energy and @martincollignon recently) - and it’s so important to see it on the agenda. [8/9].

Personal thanks to @INCLUDED_VC, where I’m a proud alum - for bringing me a co-founder, @sunil_suri, and a great mentor + friend, @NikitaThakrar. So many in the community have been really fierce supporters of @greenworkx_ - you won’t meet a bunch of people like it. [7/9].

Thank you to @adaventures for backing us. It’s been incredible to get to know @checkwarner and @Penhelios as an Ada Ventures Angel, and feel fortunate to have backers so aligned with our double impact on climate and economic empowerment. [6/9].

Thank you to @mangrovevc for leading our round. At Mangrove, I first met @Nik_Krawinkel and @yanndecroos over 3 years ago through @INCLUDED_VC - a clear sign that these were people serious about using venture capital to expand opportunity, and great partners to have. [5/9].

We’ve moved on from the first industrial revolution - to the green industrial revolution. It creates an opportunity for millions to access green jobs that are well-paid, future-ready and essential for delivering net-zero. [4/9].

Now, with @greenworkx_, I’m trying to build a better and brighter future for my former students and millions more like them. We’re getting people into green jobs - building the trade workforce to deliver net-zero homes, roads and energy systems. [3/9].

As a teacher, I always wondered whether my students were properly being prepared for the modern world. Mass education was built in the 1870s for the first industrial revolution. Does it equip kids with the skills for the new revolutions in technology and climate?. [2/9].
