CarbonN Venture Partners

CarbonN Venture Partners is a venture capital firm based in Silicon Valley. Led by two seasoned deep-tech investors with a singular focus to reverse the effects of climate change – accelerating the commercialization and scale-up of breakthrough technologies toward a negative emission economy. We invest in startups late Seed to Series B stage, with initial ticket sizes ranging between $500K and $5M. Further, we will selectively deploy “catalytic capital” to fund First-of-a-Kind (FOAK) projects through project equity or term loans. As part of our investment mandate, we assess a startup’s potential for meaningful climate impact in an analytical and quantifiable way, e.g. megatons of CO2e removed, millions of tons of waste prevented. We will work closely with our portfolio companies to measure and report their own ESG and impact metrics. Thesis Climate disasters like floods, wildfires, snowstorms and droughts are paralyzing supply chains, industries and societies. The sense of urgency as a whole is still not there… To limit global warming to below 2C, carbon reduction technologies are necessary to lower “future” emissions, while carbon removal technologies are needed to lower “historical” CO2 from the environment. These solutions together need to reach gigaton-levels within the next 3 decades. New adaptation technologies such as green infrastructure, water desalination and circular economy solutions also must scale up for industries and communities to adapt and become more resilient to the new climate reality. We believe identifying opportunities with significant social and environmental impacts will lead to better financial return. Investment Areas We invest across a portfolio of carbon negative solutions based on their carbon removal and reduction pathways (Air, Land, Ocean, Rock) augmented and catalyzed by Data and Finance innovations, and Circular Economy solutions in key material markets to improve sustainability and reduce environmental impacts. Air: direct air capture, point-source carbon capture, carbon utilization, waste-to-energy. Land: regenerative agriculture, biochar, forest management, soil carbon sequestration. Ocean: direct ocean removal, electrochemical separation, alkalinity enhancement, seaweed/kelp cultivation, blue carbon. Rock: enhanced rock weathering. mining rocks, geologic sequestration. Data + Finance: wildfire detection, earth observation, remote sensing, carbon accounting, sustainable finance, MRV & ratings. Circular Economy: plastic recycling, battery / e-waste recycling, wastewater treatment, desalination, sustainable packaging. Responsible Investing Better Climate Performance Leads to Better Financial Returns We are committed to responsible investment and incorporating specific ESG considerations into our investment process. We seek to help our portfolio companies to mitigate and manage risk as well as their long-term sustainability. We believe integrating these ESG principles in our investment practice will have a positive impact on the financial performance of our fund.
