About Carbon Equity

Carbon Equity is the world's first climate venture capital and private equity investment platform.

Carbon Equity was founded with the goal of helping people have a material climate impact with their money while making a good return in the process. We believe that investing in companies bringing innovative climate technologies to market is the best way to accelerate decarbonization. Think of alternative proteins, zero-carbon cement, nuclear fusion and electric tractors. Most of these companies are funded on the private market, via venture capital and growth equity funds. Such funds have high barriers to entry, with minimum tickets in the millions. Carbon Equity opens this world of climate private market investing up to individual investors by lowering ticket sizes and bundling investors together.

Besides private investors, we work with many HNWI’s, family offices, foundations, and financial advisors to build a diversified climate portfolio for them (or their clients). While this only represents a small portion of our ±500 investors, a big chunk of our EUR150mn AuM comes from these professional investors.
