Why Carbon Equity

Become part of the solution

Join hundreds of motivated investors fighting climate change with their capital.

“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 Vandebron

"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

Any information presented on this website does not constitute, and under no circumstances shall this information be deemed or construed to be a prospectus, an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for an interest in the feeder funds or fund of funds of Carbon Equity B.V. “Funds”, unless clearly indicated otherwise. No part of this information or the fact that of its distribution should form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or commitment or investment decision whatsoever.

The issue and distribution of any information on this website may be subject to statutory or other restrictions in certain jurisdictions. Carbon Equity B.V. requests that individuals taking possession of this information familiarise themselves with and comply with those restrictions. Carbon Equity B.V. rejects liability for any violation of any such restriction by anyone whomsoever, regardless of whether that individual is a potential investor. This website in itself does not entail any offer of any security or an invitation to make an offer to purchase any security to any individual in any jurisdiction where such is not permitted according to the applicable law and regulations.

The Funds of Carbon Equity B.V. will only be offered to potential investors at a later stage pursuant to fund documentation to be prepared and distributed by Carbon Equity B.V., through a dedicated account environment and clearly indicated as such. Any person should note that the Carbon Equity B.V. Funds will eventually exclusively be offered by Carbon Equity B.V. to potential investors in permitted jurisdictions who commit to an initial investment of at least EUR 100,000 or fall under other applicable exemptions. Carbon Equity B.V. will act as the Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM) of the Funds and will benefit from the Dutch sub-threshold regime, pursuant to article 2:66a of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht).

As such, the Carbon Equity B.V. will benefit from an exemption from the license requirement and ongoing requirements of the AIFMD. Moreover, no prospectus requirement applies in light of article 1(4)(d) of the Prospectus Regulation. Any Funds and Carbon Equity B.V. will therefore fall outside the scope of supervision of the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten, AFM) and the Dutch Central Bank (De Nederlandsche Bank, DNB)

Carbon Equity does not make investment recommendations and no communication, through this website or in any other medium should be construed as a recommendation for any security offered on or off this investment platform. Alternative investments in private placements, and private equity investments via feeder funds in particular, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk and those investors who cannot afford to lose their entire investment should not invest. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risk warnings and disclosures for the respective fund or investment vehicle set out therein. The value of an investment may go down as well as up and investors may not get back their money originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. An investment in a fund or investment vehicle is not the same as a deposit with a banking institution. Please refer to the respective fund documentation for details about potential risks, charges and expenses. Additionally, investors will typically receive illiquid and/or restricted membership interests that may be subject to holding period requirements and/or liquidity concerns. In the most sensible investment strategy for venture capital investing, venture capital should only be a part of your overall investment portfolio. Further, the venture capital portion of your portfolio may include a balanced portfolio of different venture capital funds. Investments in venture capital are highly illiquid and those investors who cannot hold an investment for the long term (at least 10 years) should not invest.
