The Accelerator Program
As the premier European accelerator program focused solely on CDR, we cut through the noise and help our teams address issues specific to the CDR space.
We want you to stay in control of your startup. We offer (recoverable) grants and don't take equity. Only if you do well, we ask you to pay back the grant in order to support the next generation of CDR entrepreneurs.
We help you make sense of the nascent CDR space and support you on your entrepreneurial journey. Profit from coaching and connections to technology and policy experts, leading CDR buyers, verification bodies and fundraising professionals.
Connect, share and collaborate with experts, buyers, funders and entrepreneurs in the European CDR ecosystem – all just one click away
