The Carbon13 Venture Launchpad identifies, supports, and invests in early stage climate tech startups with huge decarbonisation potential.
This 20-week programme supports startups to align their product, commercial, and carbon mitigation strategy, connect to a community of support, and develop strong team habits. Those that are successful at the end of the first phase will receive £200,000 pre-seed investment from Carbon13. Applications are open now, and the programme starts 14th October 2024.
The Venture Launchpad is sector agnostic; we are looking for startups with significant decarbonisation or carbon removal potential.
We are looking forward to finding out more about you throughout this application process.
You'll be a good fit for this programme if you:
- Have a cofounding team of at least two founders.
- Have made some progress on your idea.
- Have not raised equity funding, or been diluted less than 10%.
- have registered the company in the UK or intend to.
- Could use support with aligning your commercial, product, and carbon mitigation strategies
Key Dates
This application will remain open until September 2024 however there is an early bird deadline of the 19th July. Applications received before the 19th July will be assessed first and offers will be made on a rolling basis.
The written application form will ask for information on you and your startup. As part of the form, we ask you to complete a two minute video where you and your co-founding team introduce yourselves and discuss your idea and its traction, without using any visuals or slide decks. Successful candidates will then be invited to interview. Submissions of further materials may be requested as appropriate.
The Venture Launchpad program starts in October 2024. There will be 4-5 hours of mandatory, and 4-5 hours opt-in programming a week for the first 10 weeks. A pitch to Carbon13 for investment in January 2025. Those successful in raising investment from Carbon13 will participate in a demo day and pitch to the Carbon13 investment partner community later in 2025.
There will be opportunities to get follow-on support from Carbon13 and to continue engaging with the community well beyond the end of the programme.
