Investment thesis
Carbon Ventures invests in technologies that decarbonize and modernize infrastructure across the five largest carbon-emitting industries: manufacturing, transportation, energy, agriculture, and waste management. The firm believes that with the global population reaching nine billion by 2050, resource management must be rethought to avoid shortages, and that technology is essential to building efficient, future-ready infrastructure. It backs audacious founders scaling environmental solutions at the seed and Series A stages, engaging early with a hands-on, teammate approach and providing access to a network of industry experts, experienced startup executives, and advisors.
