Take your first step towards massive climate impact.
Thank you for your interest. We will be very happy to consider your application.
Carbon13 builds and backs teams addressing earth’s critical life support systems. Initially this means addressing the most urgent problem of our time – climate change.
In our five-month Venture Builder programme, we bring together 80 bright minds from the fields of technology, science and business. With a great deal of support at all levels from us and our network of experts, they form teams, identify problem areas with significant potential for savings or reductions, and develop a climate tech startup in response.
If you want to start a climate tech venture from the best starting position without losing time, which the climate crisis doesn't give us anyway, then start your application now. We count on you.
