We're looking for scientists, engineers and inventors to become co-founders of startups that fight climate change. If you want to fight climate change, then Carbon13 is currently the strongest launchpad for you to build a decarbonisation or carbon capture venture from scratch—we've made pre-seed investments in 20 teams in the last 10 months with another 14 to come in summer 2022. About half of these have been in software-driven ventures, and half in science-based/deeptech. You can view our portfolio of ventures at www.carbonthirteen.com/our-portfolio Working on IP or a climatetech idea already? Unlike accelerators, you do NOT need an idea to join Carbon13, though scientist and engineer founders usually come to us because they’re working on IP and are seeking to bring it to market through a venture capital route. The VC funding route is currently the faster and often surer route for launching complex projects with a high decarbonisation impact, which is why...
