This episode of our podcast is dedicated to the biggest Carbon13 milestone yet – we just hit 100 invested ventures!
That’s 100 invested climate startups since we signed our first cheques in 2021. We booted up our website in 2020 and welcomed the first fifty founders through our door in March 2021 – now over 1500 have participated in a Carbon13 programme. The current portfolio is working towards a potential Co2e emissions reduction of an incredible 340 million tonnes per year – that’s just under 1% of global emissions right now.
So let’s chat with Nicky, Michael and Sara about our 100 invested ventures milestone, including:
– The mission of Carbon13’s portfolio and why we’ve built it
– Examples of startups that embody the Carbon13 story (hard to pick from 100!)
– What people misunderstand about “impact”
– How climate’s changed since 2020 and by extension, how climate entrepreneurs should approach 2026.

Also on Climate Takes
We ask special guests for their “takes” on their industry and climate challenge, as well as setting a call to action, asking what will it take to solve the climate emergency?
