An event by Carbon13 at Mishcon de Reya‘s Cambridge office earlier this week, which showcased investment opportunities in climate-focused innovation, has been featured in a piece by Business Weekly.
The event provided an in-depth overview of the mechanics of a new fund, Carbon13 SEIS Fund VII, which is being run in partnership between Carbon13 and SyndicateRoom, and allows investors to support early-stage ClimateTech ventures while benefiting from attractive tax reliefs.
One section of the evening focused on success stories from Carbon13’s portfolio companies, Matnex, Cocoon and Kita. Matnex uses AI for sustainable materials, Cocoon addresses industrial emissions, and Kita innovates in carbon insurance.
The fund closes on 7 March 2025, offering a limited window for participation.
Charlie Fletcher, Partner at Mishcon de Reya, stated: “We worked on over 180 equity funding rounds in 2024 and it is notable from our deal flow how the number of emerging companies focused on sustainability continues to grow. We love helping entrepreneurs who are both growing valuable new companies and making a positive impact so it was an easy ‘yes’ from us when asked if we might host the event and we’re delighted with how it went.”
