carbon13's mission: build the future

We generate startups from scratch and invest in the best. Those startups now range from Pre-seed to Series A and they need corporates to collaborate with them.

We've already built the strongest ecosystem for generating high potential climatetech ventures in the UK and Europe. Since 2021, we've worked with over 650 founders and we've invested in 71 startups. Together, that's a collective potential to reduce GHG emissions by 500 million tonnes per year by 2040. 

The future is Net Zero. Your company's future is Net Zero.

Our startups are already building it.
