About

Carbon13’s programmes help determined people to build companies that transform global systems for a Net Zero future.

Come build with us and change the world.

Our Venture Builder programme and Venture Launchpad programme are specifically designed for founders to develop startups targeted at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale.

Three programme choices

Through these programmes, we support founders at all stages of start-up development, from the very beginning of ideas and co-founder teaming, through to pre-seed investment and scale. But unlike traditional accelerators, when you start a programme with Carbon13, you will be pushed to achieve our minimum target of emissions mitigation potential of 10 million tonnes of CO2e per year when at scale. We can enable founders to aim this high because our programmes are built on a world class ecosystem of climatetech and carbon experts, partners and investors. It takes a community to build a startup. You’re welcome to join ours.

Venture Builder UK

The Venture Builder is for those seeking co-founders and at the earliest stage of their journey – you don’t even need a startup idea.

The programme is eight months long with successful ventures benefitting from early investment. Founders can participate from anywhere in the world, except for a short in-person introduction period in Cambridge.

Venture Builder Europe

The Venture Builder in Europe uses the same Carbon13 approach as the UK, but is intended for founders resident, or who are able to work, in the EU.

The programme is eight months long with a small in-person introduction period in Berlin.

Venture Launch pad

The Venture Launchpad is an eighteen week accelerator for established teams who haven’t raised equity finance yet but are looking to do so.

The programme is 100% remote and can be done from anywhere in the world.
