The
Venture Launchpad
The strongest ecosystem for climate tech, focused on your venture.
At Carbon13 we built the ecosystem first. We united entrepreneurs in residence, carbon experts, corporate partners, investors, innovators and academics around our belief that in order to reach Net Zero, world-changing innovation can only be delivered by a community filled with true diversity of people and thinking.
Startup support on this journey will be tailored to the specificities of your team covering level of progress, product market fit (PMF), technology readiness level (TRL), investment readiness and go to market (GTM).
We can do this because the strength and depth of our ecosystem means that all of our mentorship, networking opportunities and programme are bespoke to help you lay great team foundations for building a high performance execution culture and form authentic connections with investors, customers, stakeholders and each other.
This means that to you as a founder, you should view this as a building opportunity. Neither you nor the climate has time to sit in a long lecture. You will be working towards milestones such as achieving PMF, developing a GTM strategy, and fundraising, supported by us in the manner most suited to your team’s strengths which you’ll demonstrate to investors and stakeholders.
