“As a climate tech founder myself, I know the importance of investor capital for growth. Now as an investor, I wanted to provide this growth and innovation capital to other exciting climate companies. Carbon Equity's platform gives me access to climate tech on the frontier of change, plus they do all the diligence for me.”
Aart van Veller
Co-founder, Vandebron
"Carbon Equity is the perfect platform for individuals to invest with impact supported by the most professional investment teams in the world. The Carbon Equity team is a young high energy team with total dedication to change our world, by using (our) capital as enabler!"
Theye Veen
Co-founder, SkyNRG
"There is no time left to act in preventing a full scale climate crisis. It is time to put your money where your mouth is and that is why I invest with Carbon Equity. Buying ESG shares only help shareholders, but does not fund the underlying companies to scale their technologies, whereas investing with Carbon Equity does.”
Madelein Smit
CIO, EV Box
"Investing through Carbon Equity allows me to participate in climate companies that would otherwise be unreachable for me. Their team of experts and their funds' high diversification provide peace of mind to allocate my capital. This way, I can simultaneously maximize the ROI on my investment, financially and for climate impact."
Redeëet Negate
Director, Daybreak Ventures
"Then, I found Carbon Equity which offered the perfect solution by allowing me to enter into funds by pooling many individual commitments together. If you ask me, Carbon Equity is the solution for impact-driven retail climate investors. And as an added bonus, the team is great!"
Geoffroy de Cooman
Founder, ProxyClicks
"Carbon Equity is the solution for those who want to invest directly in groundbreaking climate startups, but don't have the time or inclination to figure everything out themselves."
Pepijn Vloemans
Writer
"There is only 1 world and we have to be careful with that. You can only invest your money once so you have to do it wisely. Through Carbon Equity, these 2 elements come together: you invest your money in a way that can make the world a better place through startups that work on the latest technology."
Niels van Deuren
Founder, Housing Anywhere
"Reducing our carbon footprint has several pleasant side effects, like reducing air pollutants that harm human health. That is why I am excited to participate in the first Decarbonization Fund of Carbon Equity, with all efforts combined we will not only reduce the climate impact, but have a healthier place to live."
Ludy Holst
Owner, Van Lennep Kliniek
