What's inside

Our 2025 Impact Report tracks a year in which climate tech investment kept maturing rather than retreating — and where Carbon13 completed its 102nd investment since 2021. Founder CEO Dr. Nicola J. Dee opens the report with a look at why climatetech isn't a sector but a substrate of the whole economy, before the report walks through our full portfolio across Energy & Mobility, Chemicals & Materials, Food Systems, Built Environment, and Enabling Platforms.

This year's report also introduces our reframed Carbon J-Curve model — tracking net mitigation over time rather than a single upside number — alongside our first year of SFDR Article 9 reporting, a detailed breakdown of Scope 1–3 emissions across the portfolio, and an in-depth look at how we're building diversity of thought into every cohort from day one.

Portfolio

102 ventures, 5 sectors

From methane capture to rare-earth-free magnets, our full 2025 portfolio spans the breadth of the climate transition.

Impact modelling

The Carbon J-Curve

A reframed view of future impact — carbon break-even by 2030 and 979 Mt CO₂e cumulative net mitigation by 2050.

Diversity

65% female-founded

By the end of 2025, 65% of Carbon13's invested ventures had at least one female founder — the result of deliberate, sustained work.
