Toronto-based @Metafold3D has secured $2.35 million CAD from @differentialvc, @active_impact, Jetstream, and @StandUpVentures to make it easier for manufacturers to design and 3D print complex parts. I checked in with Metafold’s Elissa Ross here. #CDNtech betakit.com/metafold-3d-clos…

Shout out to portfolio companies @Clirrenewables, @swtchenergy & @SocialNature!
theglobeandmail.com/business…
Massive revenue growth is important ... but we're hugely proud that these companies, like all the co's we invest in, create a positive impact with their business.
in 2021:
☀️💨 @Clirrenewables' solar and wind power optimization mitigated the equivalent of 37M kgs of coal burned,
🚗🔌 @swtchenergy mitigated the CO2 equivalent of 147,834L worth of gas with their electric vehicle charging station network, and
👫🛒 @SocialNature influenced over 1M people to sample natural products!
Making climate-friendly choices shouldn't carry a green premium! That's why we invested in @thefuturescore. The FutureCard Visa gives up to 6% cashback on low-carbon purchases. Get yours today.

Have you ever had some rooms too hot, some too cold and none just right?
That's because cooling/heating systems don't optimize for where air needs to be directed. @Flair's systems allow heat pump exchanges to work in only the areas needed — which lowers energy usage by ~40%!
We're proud to announce Flair's $7.6M Series A funding, co-led by @active_impact and @lowercarbon.
The Flair team is excited to expand our footprint by building next generation products and experiences, and working towards a clean energy future.

Global adoption of 3D manufacturing will help drawdown the 20% of global emissions created by how we make stuff. 3D printing allows for better materials, is less wasteful and more energy efficient than conventional production.
@Metafold3D will help make that transition happen.
Spun out of its co-founders’ consulting work with a major sportswear manufacturer, @active_impact-backed @Metafold3D aims to help address the bottleneck at the design side of 3D printing. #CDNtech betakit.com/metafold-3d-secu…
Certifying as a B Corp is hard. Staying a B Corp is just as hard.
We are SO PROUD to recertify with a score that is nearly DOUBLE our first assessment at 144.4!! The median score for ordinary businesses is 50.9, 80 is required to certify and 144.4 is very, very high.
We are beyond excited to release our 2021 Climate Impact Report! This report covers the climate impact of the 18 portfolio companies we held in 2021 — 9 of which collectively mitigated 150,133 tonnes of CO2 equiviliant (tCO2e)!
