🌎 Founders Factory in Climate: A brief history
Over the past eight years, we’ve built & invested in climate and sustainability across multiple verticals, from low carbon cargo logistics (@dronamics) to reusable packaging infrastructure (Again).
More recently, we’ve actively invested in the climate tech sector with @UseGForce, Blue Action Accelerator, and @FASTWEB, as well as launching our @nesta_uk Mission Studio to tackle home decarbonisation, among other themes.
💡 So what have we learned about climate founders, and the unique challenges they face?
Today, we’re excited to publish our Thesis on Climate, our perspective on the climate opportunity, what founders need to succeed, and an overview of our comprehensive climate investment platform. This is an essential resource for anyone building or investing in climate tech.

"Since 1850, humanity’s put a metric shit-ton of CO2 pollution into the atmosphere. Back then, CO2 in the air was 280 parts per million. Today? 420 ppm. An increase of 50%, and most within just the last few decades." - Chris Sacca, Lowercarbon Capital

Climate tech investments are lagging behind globally, but especially Central & Eastern Europe is catching up fast with UK-EU bridging initiatives like useGForce.com. It's just needs a little more googling, @misssaxbys.
Eastern European climate tech investment is lagging behind the rest of the continent.
So what’s holding the region back?

Wrapping produce in #plastic does not increase its shelf life and the packaging often forces shoppers to buy more than is needed.

ClimateTech is the highlight conference of #londontechweek for me! Geothermal seems to be very promising when it comes to climate change. There is so much heat inside earth mankind can use it for 5 billion years. #climatetech

We are ravaging the very ecosystems that provide us with the food, water and resources we need to survive.
The Earth is resilient, but she needs our help.
By restoring ecosystems, we can reverse the damage we have done and help our planet heal. #WorldEnvironmentDay

Despite the #COVID19 pandemic, #Renewables hit new records last year but we're still far from where we need to be.
We have the solutions. Implement them.

We were there when #Bevy was born. An events platform enabling #Startupgrind to serve multiple communities was spun off into a startup. Many global companies now serve their communities thanks to @BevyHQ. Join us today at 8pm UK time with Derek and Kobie.
