Welcome to Carbon13’s podcast “Climate Takes” where 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?
On Climate Takes Capital, we’re looking at money and where it goes in climatetech and why. $44 billion was invested into climatetech in 2024, with one in six of those dollars invested in the UK – including a billion spent on AI Climatetech.
In this episode, Carbon13’s very own Founding Partner Michael Langguth and Min Dhillon, Head of Capital, share their takes on the climatetech investment landscape. >>>

- Climatetech often means deeptech and hardtech – what’s the funding journey for those startups and how does it differ to software
- What investors like Carbon13 and others look for in investable teams.
- Europe’s strengths in funding deeptech and what’s coming up in 2025
- And finally, capital doesn’t always mean money…
