To help businesses get to net zero and to scale carbon removal technologies.
40% female employees
Supercritical is a startup offering businesses the option to reach carbon net zero output. It measures a company’s carbon footprint, creates an actionable plan for reducing emissions, and recommends a portfolio of high-quality carbon removal offsets to buy.
Businesses create a lot of pollution that either needs to be lowered or removed from the atmosphere to keep the earth’s warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. With a greater carbon footprint than the entire aviation industry, Supercritical has made the tech industry an initial target.
When companies buy conventional offsets, the carbon emitted still remains in the atmosphere as someone else gets paid not to emit the same amount of carbon. Supercritical differentiates itself by focusing exclusively on carbon removal offsets that actively remove toxins from the atmosphere through methods such as tree planting, biochar, enhanced weathering, bio-oil sequestration, and direct air capture.
Supercritical counts well-known businesses accuRx, Faculty, Tide, and what3words as early customers. It is using its pre-seed funding to scale the company across all facets to work on directly impacting the reduction of carbon emissions, and it is well placed to do so with its unique strategy.

The carbon removal sector is incredibly nascent - there are still a lot of nay-sayers out there! In the Sales team, we're constantly iterating the product market fit, staying on top of development in the market and challenging perceptions.

There is no denying the state of the climate needs attention. The recent IPCC article released last year included carbon removal as essential to tackling climate change. The whole team has a passion and drive for this mission to scale carbon removal and help the planet.

Supercritical's mission is to scale carbon removal to help fight climate change. It is so great to be working at a company that has a direct impact on such a huge, global problem. One of our key metrics is the number of tonnes of carbon dioxide removed to date, which is super inspiring!

I can't imagine a more inspiring and important mission. I joined Supercritical because of the mission and it makes it a lot easier to get up in the morning: you can literally quantify the positive effect of your work on the world. (The amount of carbon drawn down, and then also the really important early market signals for scaling carbon removal.)
