Company mission
To reduce global emissions by 1 billion tons per year by helping individuals take effective climate action.
Our take
Billions around the world are concerned by the climate crisis and want to do something about it – but most don’t know where to begin. This is where Carbn hopes to help.
The London-based company works with leading experts to build products specifically aimed at helping individuals take effective climate action. It offers a gamified app that guides users on their journey to a sustainable lifestyle and the company is on a mission to reduce global emissions by 1 billion tons per year.
Carbn is at an early stage and is now focused on building out the team, with a particular focus on hiring engineers and designers. This will be aided by pre-seed funding led by Georg Mende and Rui Ang.

The founders are both extremely switched on people and very good at their jobs. But what makes them special to work with is the breadth and depth of their interests. You'll be surprised how much you learn about subjects completely unrelated to work while working with these two
