Lowercarbon Capital backs kickass companies that make real money slashing CO₂ emissions, sucking carbon out of the sky, and buying us time to unf**k the planet. Bless the activists, but we see a different path towards a brighter (and cooler) future. Shame and guilt won’t get us there, markets will. To be clear, this isn’t charity. Fixing the planet is just good business. We’ll write your first check and are set up to keep investing deep into the alphabet as your company grows. So if you’re building a startup to rein in global warming while making cold, hard cash, drop us a line.

This is a catchall company for the doers, the thinkers, and the innovators.
