Friday afternoon, no shame:

We're looking for investors at currentlyhq.com — like-minded folks who want to help build an interactive, personal, human weather service for the climate emergency.

DM me for a pitch deck and to chat.

Here's some stats so far:

Old school weather apps are opaque, frustrating, confusing.

At Currently, we’re building “Weather as a Service” — creating on-demand, affordable, custom forecasts to anyone, anywhere in the world.

Subscribers can sign up for our interactive local weather & climate hotline anywhere in North America:

We’re planning to expand this service worldwide with additional funding.

This idea is catching on more quickly than I ever imagined.

Our members are paying in advance to help us reduce costs for folks on climate frontlines.

Accessible, understandable, timely weather info is a public health necessity in the middle of a climate emergency.

Currently’s weather service helps youth sports coaches keep kids safe from extreme heat and dangerous weather — and helps them have fun.

We help people plan yard work, days at the beach, and help reduce anxiety and property damage during severe weather.

We can do so much more.

We’d love for you to become a Founding Member of Currently — you’ll get a seat on our advisory council and help determine our future: buy.stripe.com/eVa4jy7qiaNpa1…

If you’re a weather-sensitive organization who’d like to partner with us, we’ll give you a bulk discount.

We can customize weather alerts at a very low cost — just a few dollars per month. I’d love to chat with you:

And if you’re an investor who wants to buy in to this idea at a very early stage, send me an email: [e-mail]

We’re finishing up our first fundraising round in the next few weeks.

The whole goal of @Currently is to help address climate change by reducing the inequality of extreme weather.

If that sounds like you, too, then we’d be thrilled to work together. <3
