Carbon13’s eight month Venture Builder for the Climate Emergency brings together a select cohort of talented people from science, research and industry, all highly motivated to reduce carbon emissions and equivalents. On the programme we will enable you to come together with a technical cofounder to develop a scalable business that can reduce carbon emissions. Carbon13 is placed at the heart of the Cambridge ecosystem, the UK’s hotspot for climate entrepreneurship and deep tech ventures.

Send to a friend
Please send our webinars and venture builder to anyone and everyone strongly motivated by the climate emergency, who believes as we do in the potential for entrepreneurship to be one of the vectors for change that our planet needs.
To fight the climate emergency, we need our best minds working on innovative solutions and we intend to support them every way we can. In particular, we support talented people such as:
- Scientists or academics, with expertise which they want to use to create a venture because entrepreneurship is their chosen way to quickly make a big impact.
- Developers, who want to turn the solutions they can create to emissions problems into significant businesses
- Serial entrepreneurs looking for their next big challenge ideally in the climate change space. They are most probably in a search of the right idea and value proposition, and want to meet a co-founder with deep expertise in technology or the climate space.
- Other experienced folks with relevant industry expertise and networks (e.g. in energy, transport, agriculture, food, buildings, manufacturing) or startup expertise (sales, product management, design).
Our why
Carbon13 is the venture builder for the climate emergency.
We are selecting and supporting 1000 entrepreneurs over 5 years who will build scalable ventures with the potential to reduce carbon emissions by over 400 million tons per annum.
We strongly believe that startup innovation is necessary to save the planet. Everyone who has the talent to make a difference to the climate emergency should be channelling that talent into the one great effort that humanity most needs.
There are certain types of innovation which corporates simply can’t generate by themselves, only entrepreneurs can. The history of business tells us that only entrepreneurs will successfully exploit opportunities created by cross-disciplinary innovation, business model innovation, innovation that anticipates regulatory change, and innovation that depends on behaviour changes that haven’t happened yet.
Without entrepreneurs, we won’t get enough innovation to solve this problem and we won’t get it fast enough. This is what drives everyone at Carbon13, and has led us to create the venture builder to support entrepreneurs to achieve the high growth ventures that can make a meaningful impact on carbon emissions.
