95 carbon removal startups with $57M of funding

Over the last two years, 95 startups graduated from our AirMiners accelerator program with a combined $57M of grant money and venture capital raised.

That means there's an average of one new carbon removal startup created every week! And an average of $600k per week is going towards new carbon removal ideas.

Remember, our accelerator program runs every three months so we're always connecting with new carbon removal startups.

With batch #9 coming up in August, we need 30 new teams opening up the possibility for removing 1 gigaton of carbon dioixde cumulatively by 2030. What's uncomfortable is that to hit 30 teams means we need even more than 1 startup per week getting started, more like 1.5 or 2.

To help spark new solutions at our town hall last week Jason introduced new "ideas needs and leads" sessions. And he has already hosted two of them! See below for the summaries of the 16 ideas with links to the notes from the session. Followup with the person on Slack or through email.

Let these people and ideas inspire you to join, support, or start your own thing. It's go time!

Got an idea you want to share for the next Ideas, Needs, and Leads session? Hit reply with a one-liner.
