Founding Cohort · Live · Starts September 1, 2026

Not another cohort. The authority infrastructure that makes capital, partners, and press find you first.

Four weeks. Eight seats. Built by someone who went from zero to a Top 20 Global Sustainability voice — now opening the exact system behind it to a small group of climate professionals ready to be found.

Cohort begins September 1, 2026

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. This keeps the room small enough for real work — every seat gets direct attention across all four weeks.

What this isn't

This is not:

  • Another cohort
  • Another LinkedIn course
  • Another personal branding program
  • Another creator course
  • A community you scroll through
  • A mastermind with no structure

This is:

  • A room where your positioning gets built in real time
  • Four live working sessions — not lectures
  • A concrete, documented output every week
  • Direct access to a founder-level ecosystem, not a template library
  • Eight people, not eighty

Who's behind this

The person building the room, not just running it.

I'm André Rodríguez. Peruvian, based in Germany. Thirteen-plus years across banking, climate technology, and institutional sustainability — Europe and the Americas.

Before sustainability became a global headline, I founded Arboriza21 in Peru: 100,000+ native trees planted, real work with real communities. That's where I learned the gap between what works in a post and what works in the field — the gap most loud voices in this space never close.

"The world doesn't need more climate voices. It needs the right ones, heard louder."

Today that same discipline runs SustainMotion360 — and the Climate Authority Lab is the exact system behind it, opened to eight people instead of scaled to eighty thousand.

The receipts

How André actually got here — not a highlight reel.

2013–2018
Finance & Banking

Banking, quantitative finance, fintech

Inside institutional environments where capital decisions are shaped long before money moves — across Europe and the Americas. Learned how capital actually thinks, long before climate made it fashionable.

2018–2022
Reforestation

Arboriza21 · 100,000+ trees planted

Founded a reforestation and environmental education initiative in Peru. Worked with local communities, universities, and public institutions — grounded in the realities of land, people, and long timelines.

2022–2025
Climate-tech

Carbon markets & climate technology

High-integrity carbon, biochar, water, and plastic credit projects. Blockchain traceability and AI-supported ESG systems, built alongside real project developers — not from a conference stage.

2024–2026
SM360

SustainMotion360 · The platform

Started as a weekly newsletter decoding sustainability signals before they became headlines. Grew into a platform reaching 30,000+ professionals — and the #1 ESG & Green Tech voice in Peru.

The Climate Authority Lab

The exact system behind that growth, opened live to eight people who are ready to be found the way André was — instead of scaled to a template library.

The framework

One system, four weeks, one loop you keep running.

01

Narrative

The one sentence that defines your positioning — built and stress-tested live.

02

Content

A system built around what you actually know — not generic hooks.

03

Ecosystem

The investors, partners, and press specific to your corner of climate.

04

Authority

Published, reviewed, repeatable — proof of the shift, not just a claim.

Four weeks build it once. The loop is what you keep running.

Four weeks

Week by week, you build the system — not just watch it explained.

01

Diagnostic & Founder Narrative

Tuesday, September 1 · 6:00 PM CET

Live audit of your current positioning against your real expertise. You leave with a single-sentence Founder Narrative Statement — the line everything else in the Lab builds on.

Live sessionPeer reviewNarrative Statement
02

Authority Architecture

Tuesday, September 8 · 6:00 PM CET

Applying the Climate Voice Framework directly to your niche and your work. You leave with a 30-day content map built around what you actually know — not generic hooks.

Live sessionAsync review30-Day Content Map
03

Ecosystem Positioning

Tuesday, September 15 · 6:00 PM CET

Mapping who should actually be seeing your work — investors, partners, and media specific to your corner of climate. You leave with ten named targets and three opening messages, ready to send.

Live sessionEcosystem MapOutreach drafts
04

Public Launch

Tuesday, September 22 · 6:00 PM CET

Final live review, then you publish your first post-transformation piece during the session itself. You leave with a documented before/after and a 90-day plan you present to the group.

Live sessionPublic accountability90-Day Plan

All sessions run 90 minutes. Times shown in Central European Time — a fixed weekly slot for the whole cohort. Dates and time editable before publishing.

What you leave with

Strategic assets, not PDFs.

01

Founder Narrative Statement

The single sentence that defines your positioning — tested live in Week 1, refined through the cohort.

02

Private Positioning Map

Updated week by week as your narrative sharpens — yours to keep and reuse beyond the Lab.

03

Ecosystem Map Access

A curated set of contacts and targets relevant to your specific niche — not a generic list.

04

Content Review Framework

The same lens used to review your posts live, so you can keep applying it after the cohort ends.

05

Before/After Documentation

Your profile and narrative, documented at the start and the end — proof of the shift, not just a claim of it.

06

Climate Voice Operating System

The full self-paced framework (€79 value) included, so the live work has a foundation underneath it.

The outcome

What do you actually get? Superpowers, not certificates.

01

You get found first

Capital, partners, and press search your name before you have to pitch them. That's the actual compounding return — not another follower count.

02

You get language for your expertise

What you already know, said in a way that lands in eight seconds — not buried in a deck nobody opens.

03

You get a system, not a lucky week

A repeatable weekly rhythm you keep running long after the cohort ends — the same one behind 30,000+ followers and 25M+ annual impressions.

04

You get proof, not a promise

A documented before/after of your own positioning — the same discipline that took André from invisible to Top 20 Global.

Fit

Built for a specific kind of climate professional.

This is for you if

  • You work in climate-tech, ESG, carbon markets, circular economy, or impact investing
  • You have real expertise but your visibility doesn't reflect it
  • You want inbound: partnerships, capital, invitations — not more followers
  • You can commit to four live sessions and the work between them

This is not for you if

  • You want a passive course you watch on your own time
  • You're looking for growth hacks or viral formulas
  • You want to "become an influencer"
  • You're not ready to publish and be reviewed in front of the group

Why this, why now

I'm not running this because I've run twenty cohorts before — I haven't. I'm running it because I know exactly what changed my own positioning, and I've spent two years building the frameworks that make it repeatable for someone else. Eight seats means I can give this the same attention I'd give a private client. That won't be true once this scales. If you're one of the eight, you get the founder price, the founder attention, and a direct hand in shaping what this becomes.

— André

Application

Eight seats, reviewed on a rolling basis.

Three questions. That's it.

  1. What's your biggest visibility gap right now?
  2. What's at stake if it stays unresolved for another 90 days?
  3. What have you already tried?

How it works

Applications are reviewed personally — not by a form that auto-approves. If it's a fit, you'll hear back within 48 hours with next steps. The cohort begins September 1, 2026, and runs four weeks.

Questions

Things people ask.

How is this different from the Operating System or the Strategic Visibility Review?

The Operating System (€79) gives you the framework to build with on your own. The Visibility Review (€197) is a single live diagnostic. The Authority Lab is neither — it's four weeks of live, in-room work where your positioning is built and reviewed in real time, alongside seven other climate professionals doing the same. It includes the Operating System as its foundation.

Why only eight seats?

Every session includes live review of real work. Beyond a small group, that stops being possible. Eight keeps the room small enough that everyone gets direct attention across all four weeks.

What if I'm not selected for this cohort?

You'll be offered priority consideration for the next cohort, along with the option to start with the Operating System or a Strategic Visibility Review in the meantime.

Is this refundable?

The Authority Lab is application-based — we confirm it's a genuine fit on both sides before either of us commits, which is why it isn't offered with a money-back guarantee the way the self-paced Operating System is.

What's the actual time commitment?

Four live sessions of 90 minutes each, plus roughly 2-3 hours of work between sessions to complete that week's deliverable. It's designed to fit around a full-time role — not replace one.

Is there a payment plan?

The founding cohort is a single payment of €1,200. If a payment plan would make the difference between applying and not applying, mention it in your application — it can be arranged case by case.

Eight seats. One founding price. September 1.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis — the earlier you apply, the more room there is for a real conversation before the cohort fills.
