Automate accounting of carbon emissions
We are building a SaaS tool that helps companies in heavy polluting industries track carbon emissions in their supply chains. This lets them calculate accurate carbon footprints automatically and prepare for carbon taxes and government penalties.
We live and work in London, England, UK, and the company will remain based there after YC.
London is the center of the UK's industrial and financial sectors where our customers operate. It gives us direct access to target industries and regulatory expertise relevant to carbon accounting.
