Climate solutions can’t wait
Support the innovators taking action before time runs out
The climate crisis is a race against time — and we’re losing.
We need to cut emissions fast, but even the best climate solutions take years to get traction. And many never make it — not because they don’t work, but because they can’t generate revenue in time.
Adoption isn’t a technology problem anymore. It’s a commercialization problem.
Founders can’t raise funding without revenue. They can’t make revenue without sales skills. And without support, their solutions die — and so does our chance at a livable future.
We’re closing that gap by helping founders build financially viable climate solutions before we run out of time.
Sneha Soni is working with textile brands to commit to net-zero and expedite their timelines to achieve it. She is doing it by building custom software to address their needs to measure, identify vendors, and report on their progress
Carly Connor started a construction reuse ecosystem connecting developers, architects, and contractors to improve communication and reuse rates. She created a model that all parties are excited and able to participate.
Sneha Shanbhag is creating the world’s building block chemicals out of bio-waste to decarbonize the hard to abate chemicals industry. Her technology can be used in plastics, fragrances, dyes, and aviation fuel.
