Carbon13 Cohort 2 - Co-founder
-
Sep 2021 - Present
I am a founder on Cohort 2 of Carbon13’s Venture Builder for the climate crisis. During this nine-month programme, a cohort of 60 founders form teams to build a high growth venture with the potential to reduce CO2e emissions by 10 million tonnes per annum. Based in the Cambridge ecosystem of academia, entrepreneurship, and research, Carbon13 selects founders from diverse backgrounds with deep technical expertise or an impressive track record in entrepreneurship or in one of our target sectors. Founders join as individuals without a startup or even an idea, and Carbon13 supports them to build a dream team, explore the most meaningful opportunities, and transition technical ideas into a commercial success. At the four-month stage, successful teams receive an investment of net £75,000.
