Invest in the future you wish to see

We know which tech, tools and ideas are needed to beat climate change — from electrified industry and carbon capture technology to smart farming and planet-proof food. But most of these innovations lack the resources to reach the masses.

That’s where we come in.

Carbon Equity enables investors to build the world’s most impactful companies by bundling capital into first-class climate funds. We make it easier for a new generation of investors to make their money matter more and tap into the number one value creation opportunity.

By moving this capital at scale, we fuel the climate transition and direct money to a place where it’s needed the most. Our funding scales solutions and creates a virtuous cycle where positive impact and returns reinforce each other.

We enter a healthier and more equitable planet where people and nature thrive.

Become part of the solution and start doing good by investing better.

How we accomplish our mission

Unlocking private equity

Impact investing happens in private markets — startups and scaleups depend 100% on private capital to finance growth and product development. However, access to invest in these companies remained limited to a select group of wealthy, well-connected investors. Not anymore!

Limited access

Top climate tech founders normally choose to partner with the best private equity funds. These funds typically require a personal connection and high capital requirements (2-10mln), making them unreachable to everyday investors.

Becomes Access to the Masses

By bundling our investor's capital, we can collectively give more people access to high-impact climate funds, which means money directed to climate companies.

Selecting the best investment teams

We map and track top-tier climate funds globally based on our proprietary climate impact assessment and financial diligence. Before we offer you access to a fund, the investment must unanimously be approved by our (external and internal) Investment Committee.

Invest

Highly-qualified investment teams do the negotiations to ensure you get a fair share of the companies.

Founder testimonials

“It took me a while to realise that while we can only vote every 4 years, we can use our capital to vote everyday. Still, to make good climate decisions, we need good information. More climate information however doesn’t necessarily equal better decision making. It's my mission to make climate investing transparent and accessible for everybody.”
Jeff GomezChief Product Marketing Officer
Jeff Gomez
“I was 18 years old when I joined the board of our family foundation to preserve the ‘Gunterstein’ estate, which has been in our family for over 300 years. This taught me to think cross-generational, and what it takes to conserve such a heritage towards the future. As a finance advisor, venture investor and economist I know how much can be driven by decisions around capital allocation. That is what I want to utilize to preserve a viable future for the next generations and build a climate-positive and more equal society”
Lara KooleChief Investments & Operations
Lara Koole
“My brother summarized it nicely when he said that my mission is to save the planet by leveraging market forces. During my studies I discovered that due to globalization, governments can only do so much to stop global warming. Capital markets can accelerate innovation like no other. I'm driven to empower people to leverage their money, their power, to build a better world. And I find the challenge to capture the complexity of balancing people, planet and profit intellectually fascinating.”
Liza RubinsteinFounder & Head of Impact
Liza Rubinstein
“What I have learned through an extensive career in private equity and venture capital is that money makes the world go round. Money, whether you like it or not, is the lifeblood of our society. Therefore Capital is my weapon of choice to battle climate change. Through capital we can enable all else. So the question that concerns me most is “how can we leverage capital to mitigate climate change in the most effective way?”

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 presentation 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 the Netherlands who commit to an initial investment of at least EUR 100,000. 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.
