+## Climate Codex: Climate Technology Fundraisers Dataset
+
+Climate Codex is a dataset that compiles climate technology fundraiser data from March 2020 to February 5, 2024. The data has been collected from various newsletters and blogs, including CTVC by Sightline Climate, Keep Cool, and other potential sources in the future, such as Climatebase.org and Bloomberg Green. This dataset captures key investments, innovative startups, and significant fundraising events that aim to address pressing environmental challenges.
+
+### Sources
+- [CTVC by Sightline Climate](https://www.ctvc.co/tag/newsletter/)
+- [Keep Cool](https://keepcool.co/)
+- Potential future sources include:
+  - [Climatebase.org](https://climatebase.org/stories)
+  - [Bloomberg Green](https://www.bloomberg.com/green)
+  - [4WARD.VC Climate Tech Newsletter Database](https://4ward.vc/newsletterdb/)
+
+### Methodology
+The dataset was prepared by scraping and cleaning data from the sources listed above, using tools such as Selenium and GPT-4 for data extraction and normalization. Currency values were converted to USD, dates were standardized, and locations were geocoded to enhance analysis. The final dataset includes columns for fundraising entity, amount raised, fundraising date, description, sector classification, location, and links to original announcements.
+
+### Data Fields
+- **Fundraising Entity:** The organization or company raising funds.
+- **Amount Raised:** Amount of funds raised, normalized to USD.
+- **Date of Funding Reported:** Date when the funding event was published or reported.
+- **Description:** Brief description of the fundraiser or the organization.
+- **Sector:** Climate technology sector (e.g., Built Environment, Carbon Technology, Energy, etc.).
+- **Location:** Headquarters or main address of the fundraising entity.
+- **Telephone:** Contact number, if available.
+- **Links:** Links to the announcement and source newsletters.
+
+### Usage
+This dataset is ideal for analysis in the fields of climate technology investment, environmental sustainability, startup funding, and economic analysis related to green technologies.
+
+### License
+The dataset is available under the Apache License 2.0.
+
+## Dataset Summary
+The Climate Codex dataset compiles a snapshot of climate technology fundraisers, tracking investments in green technology sectors over the past few years. The dataset includes details on fundraising events, amount raised, the organization involved, geographic location, and the climate tech sector of each investment. By aggregating data from prominent climate-focused newsletters, this dataset provides insights into the evolving landscape of climate technology investment.
+
+## Considerations for Using the Data
+
+### Limitations
+- Data sources are limited to specific newsletters, so the dataset may not represent the entire landscape of climate technology fundraisers.
+- Currency conversions and geolocation data may not be fully accurate due to rounding and approximations.
+
+### Ethical Considerations
+- This dataset does not include personally identifiable information (PII) of individual investors or private entities but may contain company information publicly available online.
+
+### Future Work
+- Expanding the dataset to include more data sources and improve the granularity of sector categorization.
