The selection process

  • 1. Fund landscaping

    Our investment team monitors a global landscape of over 800 climate private equity (venture capital, growth equity and buyout) funds.

  • 2. Climate diligence

    Carbon Equity has developed a proprietary climate diligence scorecard that aims to select funds whose team, processes, incentives and governance structure are fully aligned to realizing their stated climate goals.

  • 3. General fund diligence

    Four of our key diligence factors: team, strategy, performance and terms. Exceptional funds are typically run by experienced and diverse teams. They have strong processes in place, a clear competitive advantage, proven value-adds for companies and the consistent ability to deliver great results.

  • 4. Fund approval

    Our Investment Committee is composed of senior investment team members and qualified external committee members. Before we offer you access to a fund, the Investment Committee must unanimously approve it.

“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.”

"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

"As if we did not know it before, this summer's extreme temperatures, droughts and Biblical floods in Pakistan made it clear that 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 start-ups (but don't have the time or inclination to figure everything out themselves)."

Pepijn Vloemans

Schrijver

"There is only 1 world and we have to be careful with that.
You can only invest your money once, and 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

"The opportunity to address climate change by 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."
