On the eleventh (and last!) episode of Funding a Better Future: Expert Insights from ClimateTech Investors, I spoke to Puja Balachander, Head of Venture Launchpad at Carbon13.
The Carbon13 Venture Launchpad is designed to surround start-ups with a carbon-obsessed ecosystem in order to achieve a potential carbon reduction of 10 million tonnes of CO2e per year once at scale. This is the only accelerator which can support a climate start-up from any sector, which hasn’t raised equity finance yet, to understand its true potential on carbon.
