Carbon13 partners with third derivative to support the scale-up of climate critical technologies globally
Carbon13 is excited to announce a Christmas cracker of a partnership: Third Derivative, a leading climatetech ecosystem accelerating the clean future.
Together we’ll be working on the development and scale-up of climate-critical technologies.
Third Derivative’s track record is impressive. Since its founding in 2020, it has supported 225 startups from 20 countries, quickly growing into the world’s most robust climate tech ecosystem.
By uniting and aligning investors, corporations, and experts with the most promising climate tech startups, it bridges critical gaps in finance and resources, accelerating their path to market. The flexible and highly curated remote accelerator programme enables startups to focus on their unique needs and opportunities.
Supported by the expertise of over 700 Rocky Mountain Institute experts (RMI), Third Derivative also has distinctive research and analytical capabilities that enable it to develop sophisticated investment theses and market insights, and identify the emerging technologies and companies with the greatest potential for impact.
“Collaboration is at the heart of scaling climate innovation effectively. Partnering with Carbon13 allows us to tap into the earliest stages of venture creation and support impactful startups on their journey to global scale. Together, we are building a pipeline that drives deep, transformative impact in the climate space.”
The opportunity for founders
Third Derivative is looking for the world’s most promising and impactful climate tech startups to join its general cohort programme. This virtual 18-month accelerator programme helps startups succeed via access to a network of committed investors, corporate partners, market experts, and mentors. Applications will open shortly in the new year, so keep an eye out!
Third Derivative has launched an Industrial Innovation Cohorts Initiative. This initiative is designed to tackle the impact of heavy industry, which accounts for 30% of global carbon emissions — half of which is caused by the production of cement, concrete, iron, steel, chemicals, and plastics. By providing market insights, industry connections, and expert support, Third Derivative will help startups in these areas scale and deploy new technologies for industrial decarbonisation.
“Through this partnership, we are excited to share our early venture-building insights with Third Derivative, fostering an ecosystem where hardware and deep-tech startups can thrive. This collaboration will create an essential pipeline for Carbon13 startups to take the next step in their journey to scale, particularly for US and global expansion.”
